  • Quote: Originally posted by DCQ Unfortunately, I do think they see the mini as something different, something less than a full computer. I think the philosophy is stuck somewhere between "Let's make an elegant, affordable, full-featured computer,…

  • Quote: Originally posted by pak150 ...If Apple does not upgrade to Core 2 chips, while other PC manufacturers do, it will be reflected in benchmarks (which are very easy to do now, with boot camp)... Not to mention getting SLAMED big time in …
  • Quote: Originally posted by gar Dream on... Never ever will it get better specs than a MacBook. probably a speedbump to 1,67Ghz and 1,83Ghz Core Duos and maybe a price hike south. first things first: an iMac update. After that, maybe lat…
  • [QUOTE]Originally posted by sunilraman Quote: [i]Cool. Only thing is, don't expect iMac updates until a few more months, maybe October in the run-up to Christmas buying season. So Apple for the next few months can continue to sell iMac Core Duos …

  • Quote: Originally posted by PB Don't bet on a Conroe iMac just yet. The G5s used in the iMacs are more or less in the same class as Conroe from a power consumption viewpoint, and they gave a lot of heat and noise issues. The Yonah iMac is what th…

  • Quote: Originally posted by opuscroakus Am I the only one who is afraid Apple might not use Conroe? The Merom seems destined for the mini/Book/Book Pro and Woodcrest is expected for xTower/Xserve. That would seemingly leave the iMac for the C…
  • The best way to combat this would be to have a big splash at WWDC, followed up by measured releases through October and a big Media event in Late July or Early September for the Movie Service and Home Media Player (or pick your name).

  • Quote: Originally posted by Rolo Since this thread is about Merom and Conroe, I think it is worth mentioning that the Merom was designed in Haifa and that Haifa has been under attack for the past 3 days. It occurs to me that is the Merom works…
