  • 20" monitor is a good size for the consumer space. I could see Apple nixing the 17" but selling a 23" version in the high end space ($1800-2000, which may be possible with the reduced prices of LCD panels) could erode Mac Pro sales as Graphic Design…
  • For those counting pennies figuring how much the iMac could come down in price let's not forget that since Apple went to the LCD monitors for the iMac the price of those monitors have come down considerably in price, and should drop more by the end …
  • Coincidence or a joke from the design staff at the advertising firm.

  • Quote: Originally posted by sunilraman [i]..I'm hoping that a new Rev of an iMac in time for Christmas buying frenzy might get a bump up to an x1800, but that's wishful thinking perhaps. They *might* go to nVidia but we're seeing all ATI in the l…
  • Quote: Originally posted by mwswami Given that even the entry level laptops are dual core, I believe that we will see an all Quad-core lineup for the Mac Pro - i.e. dual Woodcrests across the board. Entry: 2 x Xeon 5130 (2.0 GHz) $2199 Mid: 2…
  • The problems with PPC development started shortly after the G3 was released and Apple pulled the plug on licensing the OS. Before that IBM and Moto were working on building a new platform which could run multiple OS's, the Mac OS being just one but …
  • Quote: Originally posted by TenoBell Actually if Microsoft only supported HD-DVD and not Blu-ray at all, that would stifle Blu-ray adoption to some degree. Most consumers will not likely search out some third party player to play back Blu-ray…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ThinkingDifferent That would imply that Apple have another OS or a somewhat modified OSX. That sounds like high maintance. Now if Apple would have bought BeOS.... Does the iPod run OS X? I thought not, an Applian…
  • Quote: Originally posted by backtomac I started a thread to discuss the future of MS but it died a quiet death. IMO, Balmer will be gone in one year and MS will be broken up. I doubt that, the only way MS will be broken up is if the governme…
  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker Why is Apple going to help DELL. who has done nothing but criticize Apple for years, but now is kissing their ass because they know Apple is in a position to take another major chunk of their sales? Apple is b…
  • Quote: Originally posted by icfireball What I'm suggesting is that M$ is loosing marketshare and dominance, and it seems that with that they are expanding their market to be less exclusive. Microsoft has always been "less exclusive", after al…
  • Quote: Originally posted by chris v If the Mini & the Mac Book are any indicators, the price could go up. I wouldn't expect any significant price drop at all. I wouldn't look at those two as indicators for the MacPro, the G5 entry is very…

  • Quote: Originally posted by KingOfSomewhereHot Right now, I'd get an iMac over the PowerMac, unless you just need the expandability. The PowerMac (Mac Pro ?) SHOULD be upgraded to Intel before the end of the year, but no way to really know. T…

  • Quote: Originally posted by iMacfan Hello, I remember that nearly three years ago now, I really wanted a Dual 2.0Ghz G5, but ended getting a 12" Powerbook instead, because of portability and price. However, from time to time I regret this dec…
