Things are moving pretty slow in the forums this close to WWDC. Junkie, the new design is not becouse the need one. The old Pismo design was a great laptop design and there wasn't any real reason to change it. The G4 case "design" probably could …

Quote: Originally posted by amack Sorry you're right, it's already shipping but is officially launched on the 27th. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2531 I think that it would be a great win for Intel if they brought Steve out t…

I would say that a major design change is coming at some point in time to signal that the change over to Intel is complete and to be on the cutting edge of desing trends in the industry. I personally don't think that we will see it till Mac World in…

Quote: Originally posted by sunilraman @homenow I think you've discounted the PowerMac G5 way too much. The PowerMac G4 moving up from the G3 was a nice refinement IMHO, especially with the Mirrored drive doors... One of those, I had for a while …

I think that a change id design direction is coming, but not necessarily with the Mac Pro's, which if memeory serves me that "line" has never been used to premier an overall design direction for the Mac line. The main design directions since beige l…

Apple tried the 3rd party thing with Moto, and it sucked. Steve basically has said that they will take on hardware markets where they can bring something to that market that is lacking and has been done "Wrong" in the past. This is one area that the…

Quote: Originally posted by PB You seem to forget that if the iMac gets a Conroe, it will need a new motherboard. On the other hand, the Merom is pin compatible with the Yonah. Therefore, the cost estimation is not so obvious. But then again…

Quote: Originally posted by sCreeD Wow, apparently the only ones left in the major studios are robber barons and fools. If I were Jobs, I'd work out a separate deal with (real) independent studios to sell their movies. Quicktime is a given. It…

If true then Apple would have to release a way to watch the movies off of the computer and on the TV in your living room at the same time that the movie store is anounced, and one would hope that it is not dependant on the computer other than a way …

Quote: Originally posted by Chucker I never stated that was the only reason. Yours was another. Agreed. The iMac and Mac Book Pro's were also a "shakedown cruise" for the intel line. It allowed Apple to see what kind of problems to expect wit…

Quote: Originally posted by Chucker I knew someone would bring that up But I don't think limited chip supply was the only reason for Apple not to delay all products at once (or in a more condensed timeframe). No, I think Apple wanted to give…

Quote: Originally posted by Chucker The "hung back" early this year, too. They could have introduced the MacBook, 17-inch MacBook Pro and Mac mini all in January, all shipping early March. They didn't. Nor did they have to. That is questionab…

Quote: Originally posted by Matsu Apple really needs to start offering a little future proofing in their I/O. None of the iMac/mini/macbook have any provision for adding a new I/O spec when required. EVERY model sold by EVERY other manufacturer…

Quote: Originally posted by Chucker You do realize that the iMac Core Duo allows for external monitors, including spanning, via DVI, i.e. with no quality loss? It's not enough for a 30-inch display because it's not dual-link, but seriously, 1680x…

Quote: Originally posted by Chucker No, it's a terrible idea. This "Mac" would not only be a hugely confusing brand name ("What do you have?" ?_"A Mac" ?_"Oh, you mean like, the platform? Or the model? Or??"); it would also severely eat into the …

Quote: Originally posted by Messiah I think we'll see a 'Mac' and a 'Mac Pro'. In the old days, DTP operators were most certainly 'Pro' users. They required the fastest machine available and added Adobe Certified graphics accelerators with cra…

Quote: Originally posted by Zandros Top tier @ $3999: Middle tier @ $2899: Bottom tier @ $2499 :... Let's hope that they can put a better priced computer out there, your prices put the Mac Pro (aka PowerMac) at $1200 over it's lowest retail …
