  • aye, I upgrade about every 3-4 years. and need a powermac NOW. if these update roll up, and then at wwdc even better powermacs are announced, am going to be pissed!
  • hey thanks for the replies- logitech it is!
  • Quote: Originally posted by bucci No offense to anyone, but it would be interesting to see if all the people complaining about the "insulting 200mhz update" are actually ones that would buy a PM to begin with. How many people out there are reall…
  • Apple's top line products are taking ages to come out, no doubt. Though since when was Apple the king of technology? Do you expect Apple to be making breakthroughs and godlike feats of engineering every year? Come on. Lighten up. They are just…
  • I believe the ts specs are bogus. (bogus- what a word) Though, we will see powermac updates in the next week, end of April tops. It's always when there are alot of rumblings, rumours and talk about, that you know something is just around the corn…

  • agreed. i know hardly anyone who downloads or watches movies/television on their computer. and portable dvd players weren't exactly a success either.

  • I agree, even though it may sound far fetched. I am tired of waiting. A yearly update for a computer is crazy, major car models get updated every year, let alone computers. It's well known that the IT/computer industry moves forward and super-spe…
  • there seems to be rumblings and vague rumours with the Powermacs- but yeeehh what IS going on???? its bloody difficult not knowing whats around the corner with apple- where in the PC world you can estimate and budget for new desktops. GRRR woops …
  • not to turn this into a nintendo thread- but they are doing damn fine. just because in the US, Aus and parts of Europe they aint doing too well, doesn't mean all is bad for Nintendo. In their homeland of Japan, Nintendo is still massive, and it i…
  • its great to think about though I doubt it will happen - am guessing Apple would much rather stay neutral in the game console arena. but yeah, Nintendo are mostly what drives the games business forward through innovation, similar to Apple. Also b…
  • YEAH TOTALLY! This powermac purchase is going to have to last 4 years, to have it already 8 months old, and to be replaced in the next few months is fustrating. As in theory, we're buying old and outdate hardware- a big no no in the computer world. …
  • agreed, though really, since when did everyone need to carry around cameras? its crazy. cell phones will be it - as people actually DO need them and carry them everywhere, everyday. hence- why would one buy a mp3 player when their cell phone can …
  • those little lenses, no matter the resolution, capture a pretty bad quality image.
  • aw dont say that! terrrible news! am going to see if I can hunt down a temporary mac to use and wait - HATE the idea of buying an 8+month old computer that Apple is going to upgrade in June! *frowns*
  • i think you're getting ahead of the times a bit - in reality, most people out there have pretty average computers that couldn't run high-quality feature length movies. And those folk who do download films and watch them (naughty naughty) are in a mi…
  • yeh similar in specs, but i see these pentium 3.6ghz, 1g ram, top video card with lcd screen for almost half price that of the G5 with only 512ram and mediocre GPU. and am betting that photoshop runs pretty much the same on both. dont get me…
  • aah gotcha. good points - guess this idea just proves how much the powermacs aren't satisfying us pro users... for now *fingers crossed* tho most production studios I've been at use apple hardware, so any pro-powermac config will sure to make the…
  • the idea of a 'promac' seems pointless - as their powermac line IS the promac - it's just that Apple aint keeping up with the times in terms of features and cost. pc's are as cheap as ever, and powermacs are expensive as ever at the moment. al…
