Nice update. If nothing else, the "unibody" enclosure cuts down on annoying little parts inside the case and makes servicing much easier. If you take apart a TiBook and a UMacBook Pro, then you'd understand why unibody enclosures are so much better …

If Apple offered a mid-tower, cons like Pystar wouldn't exist. I'm glad that for my needs, my MB is enough. For seriously heavy stuff, I have my quad Hackintosh (which I barely ever boot into), which is my primary Windoze gaming machine. Tho…

Go with the base model if money is a bit tight. $300 is a big difference when you consider that you can upgrade to 4Gb RAM and a 320Gb HDD for $160 total --plus, you can keep the stock 160Gb drive as a Time Machine back-up (or sell it).

iMac Air would be the most useless gimmick in recent computing history. As most people have said, it makes almost difference whether their desktop is 1" or 3" thick. The SPEED and overall features are what matter most in a desktop that is alread…

People don't need thinner iMacs but quad-core!

Since typists still cannot rest their fingers on the keys and still do not receive feedback from bouncing, mechanical keys, touch-keyboards are still unacceptable for most of us as our main device.

I disagree that tablets have been a "failure" hitherto. Many companies (plenty of insurance adjusters) rely on tablet devices. I think that the lack of general public adoption re: tablets indicates that it is inherently a niche product with very…

I wish that Apple would release a thicker iMac with a desktop Quad, but Apple has always used laptop chips in the iMacs even though the prices are higher than desktop counterparts and performance slower (voltages and power consumption much lower tho…

Am I mistaken in thinking that Jobs called Quicktime "X" and not "ten" during WWDC? If Jobs called it "EX," then this article is off to a misinformed start. Personally, I can't find much use for QT X as a PLAYER. VLC and other players do a much …
