  • Additionally, these Powerlogix Upgrades are the 7455 variety and a GZH is only 799. Methinks a 7460 is surely on the way if 3rd parties are fronting chips equal to Apples new hardware. In a time of tough sales Apple can't afford to let the Upg…

  • Product cycles? Gentlemen, please.... Um, wasn't the G3 only in Pro Desktops for 18-20 months? People... rumors are one thing, but these are dots that can't be connected. Apple will release the best machine they can as soon as the can. It'…

  • The only real problem with a 'low-end' unit is OS X. It is already almost to big for consumer machines that are 12-18 months old. As X progresses many of the machines that are being discussed here would be horrifically(sp?) crippled within a shor…

  • Mac and Macintosh are valuable brand items, yes. However, a shift in the nomenclature for its Pro Line may not be a bad idea. I don't have the market research on hand to say it would be a catastrophic move. Apple is actually a more recognized…
