  • Wait? Starting production now and won't be done for over a month? Don't they know that Apple's Final Cut Pro X can allow them to edit while the video ingests?! I wonder if the advertisers just use Adobe instead?

  • As a quick side note, anandtech.com has several great reviews - but looking at their empire strikes back (core 2 duo : conroe launch), their mobile wars, core duo (yonah) vs core 2 duo (merom) and their imac 1.9ghz g5 vs the imac core duo launch (Ja…
  • Bottom line is that despite the desktop cpu eating more energy and having greater heat characteristics than it's mobile counterpart, at the end of the day it's still a lot better than the G5 which had power and heat performance more akin to a p4 tha…
  • Sure, hit google - look up SFF Conroe, you'll see a ton of hits. People are building smaller boxes with desktop conroes. The thermal difference between the low end desktops and the high end laptops isn't great. The reason it started as a laptop…
  • Possibly. Like I said, I can see it going either way. There's nothing at all stopping them from swapping over to the desktop parts and using low performance parts. They'd get a very similar performance profile, but the parts would be a TON cheape…

  • Zand, actually you're missing a few pieces of the puzzle here. Sure merom was out after conroe, but merom was a drop in replacement w/no retooling needed for Yonah, which shipped LONG before the first trickle of Conroes came out. We're talking ear…
  • The Mac Mini has kind of strayed from the $500 mac - I'd love to see it return to that low price point. I'm wondering how much of a revision it will honestly get, or if it's just going to continue to stagger a little higher and a little higher in p…
  • Sad to see small minded responses to this, but I am fairly sure we'll see the imac move back to a desktop chip a la the g5 days. I think the imac w/core duo was originally introduced in the start of '06 was it not? Well before Conroe was shippin…
  • Apple is behind in graphics. It tends to take them a little while to get boards and drivers ready, and unfortunately with the new generation of graphics cards from nVidia (and soon AMD/ATi) supporting these completely programmable shaders, even Vis…
