I should, really, be whipping out my credit card right now, but I'm kind of underwhelmed. It definitely seems like Apple's saving all of the candy for April. Makes a guy think about just how badly he needs his fingers in the jar just yet. Any th…

As nice as getting a magnetic latch would be, I don't see how much prettier they could REALLY make the powerbook. Besides which, if I waited until the new case design and Santa Rosa to buy, I'd miss an entire school year where I need a laptop. It's …

I'd like to think announcing that the whole line was now 64 bit would be a useful keynote moment, but none the less, I don't care where it happens so long as it happens soon. The only comforting part about keynotes is that you know something you've …

Hmm. Do you imagine the difference is worth holding out for? By April I'll be all but done a year of University.

hehe. Say, I know the Shuffle was touted for having phenominal sound, but how does the Mini compare to the nano for sound quality?

Esscentially, I wonder if I'm likely to wind up missing more than just photo-viewing capabilities and what an apple representative described it me as, 'next-gen sexiness.' I asked her back if she'd rather hire a Ph.D or a supermodel.

I switched in late January to a Mac mini after years of lusting for the hardware. Oddly, I've had a reverse iPod effect; I want one now, only after owning a Mac and recognizing the simplicity. iPods were almost ridiculas to me, even in December. I'd…

The body's of these computers are inclosed in what kind of case?

I'm going to order a Mac mini a.s.a.p... basically as soon as I decide where I'll be able to get one fast enough. For a basic config 1.25 mini, Apple's website is quoting 4-5 weeks for me, which is an incredibly long wait. That would put me in mind …

It's threads like this that again reaffirm my fear over switching to Mac. Want a powerbook 15", don't wanna get chumped. I have this bad feeling that I'm gonna give into the temptation and get an iMac G5, which I know won't thoroughly fit my need…

My PC friend kept saying something about a cursid "bridge" being required in some kind of hardware form... but I'd trust your opinions sooner, given that you have the decency to try a product (primarilly a Mac in this reference) before berating it.

What about the famed "Raptor" 10, 000 RPM SATA's available through some PC retailers and resellers now? Those are hellaciously nice hard drives, and if one could be outfitted with, say, a dual 1.8 G5, I'd be onboard in five minutes.

I'm perhaps as little as a week away from ordering a 15" Powerbook 1.33. Whee. This theaeee. This thread, in combonation with the arrogant staff at the local store, have gone a long way towards convicing me that these are unreliable products. In the…

Well, that's an extra hundred dollars atop the already large cost. Good suggestion, though.
-
I'll get the Applecare towards the end of the first year, to space out the initial cost. I'm getting the iPod with it, too, so... I'm used to a 10 year old first-gen discman with 1 hour of battery life. tehehe. I'm going to die, aren't I? And act…

That's what I'm hoping, yeah. I'm going to have a nice wireles s router & mouse for it, too. Wireless Intellimouse Explorer v4. Mmm.

And what do you forsee happening to it, if you were to attempt to run it for 30? My current bargain bin 500US IBM system from 6 years ago is still running XP Pro SP2 & Photoshop CS, with only a small RAM upgrade to tide it over. Are you worried …
-
That was my thoughts, too. It seems absolutely perfect for me, and I do adore it. My only concern is longevity. I'm comfortable with the thought of adding RAM in a year or two, and perhaps purchasing a battery in 3 years time... but how well will th…

I'm going to be using it for minor-level photo editing (Photoshop CS, again thanks to the school, but I'm used to it on this 6 year old PC, so it won't be bad), Word Processing (Office 04), Instant Messaging & Internet Browsing (wirelessly, once…

...As a side note, because of my deal with the highschool I attend, I'm able to get the education discount with Apple.
