aegisdesign: The ministack highlights two downsides to using the MacMini as a server. First, the MacMini lacks FW 800 and second it lacks eSATA. (Both of which the Ministack supports.) I wouldn't expect the addition of eSATA, though I love usi…

aegisdesign: Those are decent sized drives at decent prices. Last time I looked for a drive for a mini the values were terrible. I forget how fast technology moves. (You know what they say about assumptions.) I'd still like FW 800 or even e…

One problem with the suggested solutions is that they lack Apple elegance. Because of the form factors of the Mini, AppleTV and the Airport Extreme Base Station, attaching a hard-drive is easy but looks awkward. Stacking is a better use of space a…

My tablet runs an 866 7457 pulling 7.5 watts. It's 6" x 9" touch screen display is good for 800X600. It's got built in 802.11g, firewire, usb2, bluetooth and infrared connectivity. I can sit on the couch listening to iTunes pull music off its 40 …

Even though it sucks as a desktop chip, the G4 isn't too shabby for notebooks. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a 1.6 ghz 7457 in the powerbook by the end of the year that still gives best in class battery time.

I've heard it suggested on this board that the '57 will be a pin compatible with the '55. If that's the case, why wouldn't Apple go with the '57 across the board as soon as they become available?

Apple SHOULD sell its entry level machines as loss leaders. It sets the stage for .mac subscriptions and update purchases. [I admit, however, that $399 is pie in the sky.] [ 01-15-2003: Message edited by: Bacon ]

Nothing prevents Apple from eventually releasing single, dual and quad processor designs. I think they eventually will fill all three niches. The best reason for starting with singles is that it will allow Apple to ship twice as many machines w…

Todays cutting edge memory is barely fast enough to keep up with a SINGLE 970 CPU. If Apple plans on using two 970s, they'll have to do some very fancy and expensive footwork. Put another way, even if the 970 is as cheap as todays g4, the cost of …

Regardless of the ultimate solution, a dual 970 system would necessitate some pricey components. Such a system would as expensive as it would be fast.

There is a considerable chance that that Apple never produces a 970 based machine. I suppose there are idiots who might believe this. As for Motorola, there's a semi-serious chance that if Apple gives them too much flack for slow design that…

Don't AMD and IBM compete? Especially now with the advent of the 970 and the Opteron? Sure, Intel is the kingpin, but the more successful this partnership is, the better AMD's chips are, and ultimately the stiffer the competition with the 970.

A few things: I see the 970 being introduced at 1.2 Ghz - not 1.6 - as the yields will be better...Even there it would mop the floor with the current offerings...Hell, perhaps even a 1 Ghz 970 might be the ticket for getting to market quickly. …
