  • They do: Smart Quote: Originally posted by backtomac Mercedes doesn't make $12,000 subcompacts. If your most important feature is price look elsewhere. Macs have never been as cheap as pcs.

  • The reason could be: it comes nearly for free: Integrated graphics costs (maximum) $4 more (see Intel pricelist at http://www.intel.com/intel/finance/pricelist/). A seperate X1300 would cost more and there are higher integration costs (mb space, a…
  • At least in the base model: - Celeron 4xx (Yonah) - Intel integrated graphics. - Same case.
  • Looks like end of March. This max 17% rebate on the Mini runs till end of March; from www.macgadget.de: Mac mini: Apple plant Rabattaktion (Update). Um den in den letzten Wochen stark gesunkenen Absatz des Mac mini anzukurbeln, bereitet Apple…
  • (Why is price the only point discussed?) I still don't think that $250 is so low: Apple introduced the Airport Express 18 month ago for $129 and still sells it at the same price point. Surely the components it uses must be cheaper now. An…

  • The difference between IBM and Motorola: The PowerPC is offical - it was presented last week. The Motorola G5 for the desktop is still just a rumor and some changing roadmaps.
  • [quote]Originally posted by Outsider: I was passed some info that I have a hard time putting together. It makes sense but I may be misconstruing it. Apparently the bus from the main controller to the CPU works on 2 bus ratios; one is fixed while th…
