    in Who's ordered an iMac, and which one? Comment by maffrew September 2004
  • At the moment, i have a Mac (15" PowerBook) to complement my PC (Athlon 3000 based XP system). However, i enjoy using Mac OS X so much that i'm planning to sell my PC system and use the money to buy a new iMac and go Mac only.

  • I've got a 15" PowerBook running Panther 10.3.5 No problems with the program so far.

  • This probably sounds really stupid, but i'm in a slow mood... It's a 20" viewable screen right, the 20" isn't the 4:3 enclosure? Either way, i think it's great and i'll be saving up for a 20" model. It looks even better in the expo pictures, w…
    in POLL: New iMac, like or no-like? Comment by maffrew September 2004
  • As with the sunflower design, it seems to be a love it/hate it thing. Personally, I really like it. It's not as novel as the Sunflower (a design that i love), but it's smooth, clean and it takes up very, very little desk space. Does it accomp…
    in Apple unveils the new iMac G5 Comment by maffrew August 2004
  • The Vaio W is butt ugly, don't want to see something like that. The V isn't too bad at all, and i'd be very interested in seeing how Apple could put a spin on the style.
    in Post All your iMac 3 Mockups here Comment by maffrew August 2004
  • Have to agree with pretty much everything here. I'd never used a Macintosh OS, or any Mac software until my PowerBook arrived earlier this year, but now I love it. Apple software isn't just gorgeous, it's simple and deceptively powerful. A great …

  • Having watched his OS X features video before i bought my first ever Apple product (a 15" PowerBook), i think Omar should be Apple's spokesperson in Jobs' absence

  • http://www.vaio.net/models/desktops/v/index.html That's also very similar. The Vaio V Series. It's a pizza box type thing with everything behind the screen, comes with a wireless mouse and keyboard too. It's pretty ugly, but it shows that behind-…
    in The Sony Vaio W an the Imac Comment by maffrew August 2004
  • I've just got back from visiting my local Sony Centre (gawd damnit, i want a 42" LCD tv) and i have to say, the Vaio W isn't *ugly* but it is pretty clunky. It's not got a bad spec though, and i guess in purpose it's the windows equivalent of th…

  • I've been thinking about it and i will almost definitely buy the high end iMac. All it took was a bit of a deeper probe into what i'd actually use a new Mac system. General net browsing, word processing, using the system as a digital hub, iLife, …
