  • When a much better iPhone arrives, the current low end one can become a "Nano-iPhone" with a nice price reduction! otherwise I replace my aging phone with a low end Nokia, then I at least will get featers new to me at least such as a color scree…
    in Major architectural changes suggested by iPhone 2,1 Comment by drboar January 2009
  • If Apple play the waiting game to get all 5 lines of computers "aligned" for every CPU/GPU upgrade we have had our last upgrade ever If they can boost the high end iMac with a quad core Nehalem or not they should do it, Pro sales or not. The money …
    in Chip complex delaying Apple's new iMac line, says analyst Comment by drboar January 2009
  • I would not trust macosrumors for anything but amusement. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...alem,2057.html The low end 2.66 GHz Nehalem is faster than previoous 3.2 GHz Core2 quad extreme, in some test much faster... The Neahlem can also OC …
    in OK Whither Mac Pro with Nehalem? Comment by drboar January 2009
  • Mac Nano? What need do we fulfill with a displayless desktop computer smaller than the MacMini I am typing this on a keyboard that takes up more desk surface than the macmini, looking on a 20" TFT that also takes up more space than the mini! So …
    in Apple rumored to adopt NVIDIA's Ion platform Comment by drboar January 2009
  • I am not saying that the user have to "overclock", that is something Apple can do or get top bin parts from Intel The point is that the new generation of CPUs really are faster not as that epic failure with G4 replacing the G3. Regarding SJ. He…
    in No new Mac Mini or iMac Comment by drboar January 2009
  • At least the Pro need a refresh as the new Core i7 at 2.66 MHz CPU outperform the old 3.2 GHz. The Core i7 also overclocks to 3.8 GHz "effortlessly" according to Toms hardware guide
    in No new Mac Mini or iMac Comment by drboar January 2009
  • The simplest way to go nano is to use the current low end as a nano. The current high end will be replaced with something that has more memory, better camera, a radio and a 3D chip to drive the display so that you can play even more games from the A…
    in Paper suggests Apple's iPhone nano will ring this spring Comment by drboar January 2009
  • 3.5" drive would be nice both for performance and price,! My dream would to have the cube back were a latch enables the user to pull out a inner casing with good access to everything. Even room for a PCIe graphic card. But I can settle for som …
    in More versatile Mac mini expected at Macworld Comment by drboar January 2009
  • Soon and based on the new Nehalem design. Nehalem is the biggest design leap Intel have taken 10-15 years. At 2.66 GHz it is faster than current 3.2 GHz CPUs so I fully expect the next gen MacPros to be something to behold http://www.anandtech.com/…
    in Mac Pro Comment by drboar October 2008
  • Macmini: either bumped as per macbooks or replaced by an xmac iMac: speedbumped possibly a Quadcore highend, if so no xMac. MacPro: If Nehalem arrives in time, it might be time to also revise/replace the case. Not that I think that the interna…
    in Let's talk Macworld 2009 hardware; what's left to fill up all that time? Comment by drboar October 2008
  • Something the size of a Powermac 7500 would have room for 2 HDs one optical drive as well for a Quad socket and one or two PCIe cards. Me like, like a lot A native Quadcore would be nice and also fill a gap in the current lineup were allmost all …
    in October macbook event....what is the mysterious...BRICK? Comment by drboar September 2008
  • At least Apple is missing single Quadcores from their linups. Macbook, Macbook Pro, AirBook, MacMini, iMacs all dual cores Mac Pro and Server Octacores uneless you downgrade I am dreaming of an Xmac, a small tower in the same price range as the…
    in An Intel Quad in iMac soon? Comment by drboar July 2008
  • Current Intel design with the frontside bus runs out of steam with many CPUs http://it.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=3335&p=5 Shared by 16 cores each has 600Mb/s or the same as a 1 GHz Pentium 3 on a 133 MHz bus. About 6 months away we …
    in MacPro Upgrade: When and what? Comment by drboar July 2008
  • Next gen Intel desktop CPUs looks fantastic an iMac could end up with CPUs that equals or beats current octacore Pros And the iPone2 too
    in Nehalem on prototype HW is still the fastest Pentium Comment by drboar June 2008
  • If they added EFI graphic card support so that you could buy any modern AMD or ATI card to run 10.6 I would go for it A faster finder that does not slow down to a crawl by folders many items (thousands) I would be happy with a OS that work …
    in Mac OS X 10.6 to show at Apple developer event, drop PowerPC Comment by drboar June 2008
  • A dead battery in combination with an unplugging can result in a nostarter. I would replace the battery before trying more expensive stuff. Is it dead "Dead" when you start or is it that it does not boot even if the powersupply emits some sounds…
    in Powermac G4 won't turn on after unplugging in sleep mode Comment by drboar June 2008
  • An OS usually just make things invisible when you remove something. I really do not understand exactly what you have done but changing owners name or the name on an account should not remove the content of that user. Go to help menu and search …
    in Everything got erased! Comment by drboar April 2008
  • Currently Apple is left out of the Quad core market segment. Sure the Mac Pro can be quad core by crippling itys native octa core state. But you still have to pay in price and latency performance for those FB DIMMs. Mini=Dual core iMac=dual cor…
