  • It seems to me that Apple went in to the extreme of motherboard consolidation with this model. I'm sure that graphics card is soldered to the motherboard. I am sure they cut every nickel to get the costs down as much as possible. I mean just look a…
  • I think you're going to have to wait a LOONGG time for a refresh. Try September of next year... In typical Apple fashion, they announce something and have problems getting it to the masses in a reasonable amount of time. Apparently dealers are being…

  • Yeah this is a bit fishy. But those folks asking where the keyboard, mouse and other peripherals are: Its in the styrofoam on the left, that's been flipped up. Apple doesn't toss in the keyboard and mouse in the same area as the cpu, they put it on …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Aurora It does seem to be a regular pattern for apple doesnt it, announce something,say when it will ship but then ship it months later. perhaps they are adding up orders before actually placing that order for the part…
  • Well one thing to consider really is that if you look at the old iMac G4's that Apple still posts specs for in their online store, the top two have the 5200 with 64MB vram. With an "all new" design, it would seem strange in my opinion to just leave …
  • You know I too believe Apple has to make a cheaper iMac. But to compare them over and over and over again to Dell is beyond stupid. What does Dell do? They slap cheap parts together and sell them as complete systems. There's some design to this, as …
  • Also nevermind the fact that Motorola and contracts with them contributed enormously to the dogged performance of these computers. Why didn't Steve just design his own chip. He's a loser and a fool. Why didn't Steve know ahead of time the trouble wi…
  • don't know if this is totally relevant to the conversation. but a while ago i mentioned to some friends about tiger and its 64bit capabilities, and they though that was great. i know they don't really know what makes it great. but then i remembered …
  • I'll second what Ensign says. I LOVE macs, I want them to do REALLY well. Criticism isn't always with the frame of mind, "Apple is stupid, sucks, I wish they would cave into nothingness...." I also think that having those graphics cards as the o…
  • If I were the one to design a new keyboard/mouse combo, I'd simply produce the extended keyboard version of the 17" powerbook, complete with key colors, ambient lighting, etc. That would be awesome! People would jump to buy those I think (I know I w…
  • Hey thanks a lot for the photos! I have a feeling that this thing is going to be even more amazing when I see it in person at the local Apple Store! Thanks!
  • Don't remember where I read it but some folks I believe over in Ars forums are convinced that the G5 case is totally over developed cooling wise at the moment. These cases are made for the whole generation, not just the first salvo. So what I'm sayi…
  • You know something tells me that we will get a G5 powerbook. I mean they have waited and waited and waited to update the 15". Is it really because they were waiting for availability of a mobile graphics card from ATI? My take is this: they waited…
  • Yeah geez to hell with apple - I'm off to wintel. They suck I hate the logo, I hate the way the G5 looks. What?!?!! No second drive enclosure?!!? Geez man that G5 sucks ass. horrible..... The keynote was terrible! no powerbooks?! This sucks. Awful. …
  • I've gone through nineteen pages of comments and nothing from Lemon Bon Bon. I enjoy his comments all the time! Man, where are you - are you breathing OK?? Let's hear your thoughts man!

  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo I don't want to ruin anyone's fun, but has Apple ever put bullets before each line in a specification list? The list for the current G4s reads: Powerful features and options. Dual PPC G4 Processors up to …
  • Quote: Originally posted by clonenode I say it was a controlled leak, to get more buzz going. Notice that no photo was realeased. Why the only specs... because to Apple, it's the looks more than the tech specs. that will set this thing apart. The…
