$700 iBooks would sell like something that sells very fast indeed.
Like hot cakes perhaps?
Quote:
iBooks $700-800 and PB's somewhere lower than $1500 (to catch the me's).
But then they need another line to catch the self-stlyed "Apple Pro-Users" who want the satisfaction of the $2500 PB's along with the surcharge $600-800 donation to Apple RD.
THEY MADE THE DEV MACHINES HAVE SHARED VIDEO TO CUT COSTS, BECAUSE PORTING PROGRAMS DOESN'T REQUIRE A 7800GTX. YOU ARE AN IDIOT! AN ABSOLUTE FREAKING IDIOT!
My god.
I agree - Apple is not going to ship a $3500AUD system with an shared video chipset. People are going to take one look at it and go, "wtf? I can get two 7800GTX in SLI, An FX57, ridiculously high amounts of RAM, a terabyte of hard disk space a PCI wifi card AND expandibility for that price with windows."

well, they DO ship a $3999 AUD system :
Dual-core 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 processor
1.15GHz frontside bus per processor
1MB L2 cache per core
512MB memory (533MHz DDR2 SDRAM)
250GB Serial ATA hard drive
16x SuperDrive (double-layer)
Three open PCI Express expansion slots
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 with 256MB of GDDR SDRAM
to which i say, WTF? i can get two 7800gtx in SLI, FX57, 4gb ram, blah blah blah....

Integrated graphics is not the same as a geforce 6600.
I take your point though, but that kick shit 7800GTX system DOESNT have OSX
tell me about it mate. \ i did some maths on my pc rig i built, and looks like (shh... don't tell my parents) it amounts to 4,500 in local currency (ringgits) the key to unlocking its value is running os X somehow, somewhere... can't lose windoze, 'coz i do have fun playing some games (ut2004, nfs: most wanted, matrixath of neo and soon hopefully: star wars battlegrounds2)
working on it though. a tripple booty system (ubuntu64, winxp32, mac osx86) would make my $4,500 rig truly bloody worth every penny....!

Too complicated product line? a choice of three..
Or Good, Better, Best,
or in Spanish: Bein, Mejor, Mejor.
Maybe confusing for them

Yeah, sorry, but I pretty much have to don scuba gear each time I enter this thread so I don't drown in the stupidity.

why not :
- 700 : 12" ibook shared graphic card - combo
- 850 : 12" ibook better
- 1000 : 13.3 ibook good
- 1200 : 13.3 ibook very good
- 1500 : ultrathin 12" powerbook
- 1800 : ultrathin 15" powerbook
- 2100 : ultrathin 17" powerbook
would works for me!

I think you missed the part where he said that this hypothetical $3500 AUD system would have shared video memory.

well, paying $3999 AUD and getting only a 6600, not even a 6600GT, can still be a sore point for many 8)
