This is great little computer. The track pad is great and, for the first time, faster than a mouse. The screen is very nice. It does not get too hot and the battery life is really good. A firewire port would have been nice but I think I can get arou…

Quote: Originally posted by gar Merom is almost twice as expensive as a similar clocked Conroe. So I don't understand your conclusion. I don't expect a 2.4Ghz in the 20" iMac this time around. 2.13Ghz at best. It will be much, much faster tha…

If you think you'll get a conroe based iMac for a similar price that you'd pay for a the current iMac you are mistaken. Every conroe PC that I see is priced above the current iMac and Apple never sells similar hardware for less than other big name O…

why do processor threads always turn into video cards threads?

I heard someone dropped a pre-release Merom into the mac mini and it worked. You can change the cpu. You couldn't do that with the g4 mini (where do you get a faster g4?). So it being upgradeable is a big plus as far as I'm concerned. It seems like …

Apple has always released their new computers when they had sufficient supply of the new CPUs. I can't think of any time when they held off releasing a product for a trade show. In the past they have announced products at tradeshows that ended up sh…

about windows gaming on a mac... since the games are immersive and in a game you aren't really using the total windows operating system (not explorer, not bundled software etc.) I wonder if it would be possible to just boot into a partial windows…

ah yes, the never ending "expansion slots" argument... I think we could all agree on that perhaps selling a proMac with an expandability option for more slots would be a good idea. Perhaps 2 could be built in and then you could buy some sort of a…

They pretty much have to have a quad woodcrest or continue production of the quad G5, perhaps even giving us a quad G5 upgrade. There is no way Apple will release "slower" machines than what they have now. My pet theory is that Apple has very car…

You might want to look into SheepShaver or BasiliskII for classic emulation on the new machines. I don't know much about it but it may be a viable solution for the intelMacs. A couple of points: When you write something off on your taxes it just …

^^ then I was mistaken. Sorry about that.

Call me naive, but I really think that Apple, with it's access to detailed future CPU roadmaps, it's long history of building computers, their intimate knowledge of dealing with CPU suppliers, and the resources they have dedicated to making these so…

aren't Blu-Ray drives going for $1000? Call me when they're $100. Above that it's not worth it.

before the powerPC they had names like "Quadra" or "IISE" or "9500". Then for some reason they stopped overtly naming the powerMacs. There were nicknames, like Quicksilver or Sawtooth, but not official names. Just G4 Powermac and g5 Powermac. They l…
