Look, M$'s basic point is valid. If you want an entry level computer, PCs are cheaper. If you build your own, for 800-1000$ you can get something that's almost as fast as a mac Pro. It would certainly be faster than any imac. If you buy a laptop, yo…

My theory is that apple has contracts with intel for a certain # of processors. They probably did this to keep down costs and get first dibs at various times. With the drop in sales across the board, clearing out old cheap procs is difficult at best…

For memory intensive, multithreaded apps, the core i7 destroys all previous processors you can buy from a store. A dual processor machine with 8 cores will beat a 4 core core i7 machine as long as it's not memory limited. If your job is memory li…

i think the new black border is heinous. It looks seriously crappy compared to the previous matching border. The reviewers all say it gets turned into a giant black smudge too, which stinks. I'm sure the carved case is amazing, but why make the s…

[QUOTE=solipsism;1325854]So in 9 months you may not call it premature, but do you think that others would be ready to buy new HW in 9 months? Quote: Lets face it, Apple just can't hold it. If USB3 was in this macbook, nobody would complain. If …

Again, some of this shock and outrage would have been molified if apple just told people to never buy firewire devices years ago and just said 'we're keeping this for legacy stuff'. Then we'd all have known not to buy firewire 400 drives or other…

boy they must be giving him some serious cash. or he must be really bored.. i watched like 5000 episodes of seinfeld. He always had a mac. maybe the new adds are seinfeld telling gates to buy a mac and gates getting all pissed off.

The next 5 years could be huge for apple. Vista has tanked and M$ has stated that their next OS will NOT be backward compatible. They're going to break their own monopoly. Once people have to make a clear choice between two new platforms, Macs will …

look, i'm sure they did some nice homework here. but 25 hours of observation is kind of laughable. I sat outside one store and measured 95 sales. That MUST BE WHAT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE! give me a break. Even doing one hour in front of 25 stores …

they will release OSX into the wild for certain hardware configurations sold by 3rd parties. These machines will support the same internal hardware as macs and use mac peripherals. Jobs sees the weakness of Vista as a chance to take a gamble to f…
