The Cube failed because of price, performance, and economy. The design and price point was for a "Manager's" boutique computer with a very high profit margin, similar to but a little more "sane" than the 20th anniversary Mac. The economy was down, a…

I don't know for sure, but from what I have gathered from watching Apple news over the years the Towers have always had a higher profit margin than the iMac, which is looked at as a higher volume consumer product. Historically lower end towers h…

But a Conroe product could ship before the end of the month, and it would be nice to see Apple do this, but I'm not optimistic about it. PowerPC pessimism and Apple's general "slow" reaction to market forces tell me that Apple will release 2 product…

$799, 1299, and 2499 if I remember correctly. New prices are better, but I seem to remember Samsung's 20.1" widescreen in the paper this weekend for $299 with rebate, but then Apple is not trying to compete on price with their displays.

Conroe powered Mac, there is a big gap in the price of Apple's computers now between the entry for Pro and Consumer products. The $2499 computer is more than a lot of people will want to spend on a computer, Pro or not. Let's not forget that in the …
