Quote: Continuing their price adjustments meant to continue to offer massive discounts. But, then again, that's what has gotten them into the low margin situation they are in now. It doesn't seem to be helping their marketshare much either. Yeah…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross I agree with that. I really don't see AMD, over the long run, continuing their slight performance and power consumption lead. Intel had lost their way with Netburst. But that bubble burst with the 90nm process…

What about this quote? Quote: Ballmer: Honestly, I don't think that [Apple adding the ability to boot Windows] is that important. Actually, it is relatively expensive if a user gets a separate Windows OS for his Mac. Not a lot of people will do …

Quote: Originally posted by Tag Me Back Well what will the "better" configuration actually be better than? I think this crosses the PR-BS line. Better than the competition's notebooks, obviously.

Quote: Originally posted by CharlesS 2. Even with QEMU, you're still running an emulator, not a virtual machine. This means performance is going to be far, far slower than it would be with a virtual machine. The Q ppl claim to be working …

I wouldn't really call it a "detailed breakdown." What would be interesting would be if they gave the R&D costs of OS X (and maybe iLife). Given the ~$500 million figure they cite, I'm guessing the OS X costs alone must be $250 million or less…

An important point about the price: The Core Solo is a VERY expensive chip for a sub-$500 computer. The only price data we have suggests that a 1.66 Ghz Core Solo costs $210. Yes, it is a slightly slower chip (1.5 Ghz) and yes, big OEMs like Ap…

Quote: Originally posted by Robin Hood It is easy to discount Intel integrated graphics, especially because in the past they sucked. Really really badly. The newest chipsets from Intel are, however, quite impressive. Some advantages include, but …

My questions are, where the heck can you buy 512 MB of DDR2 667 for $20, and where can you buy a Radeon X1600 for $30?!? Obviously Apple gets a discount on these components over what even the most saavy consumer would pay, but even so, the prices…

I think by "PCI-X" you mean PCI-Express. PCI-X graphics would be a *major* downgrade in bandwidth over the current AGP 8X graphics! And either PCI-X or AGP would be an inferior interface to the PCI-Express currently available on the "consumer" iMa…
