Although Apple has lower sales than Dell, its still successful where it counts. Apple, along with Dell and Acer are the only computer manufacturers making a profit these days. And sometimes other people copying your ideas can prove successful (a…

Well firewire is better for lots of applications, but it would be nice to have USB 2 to hook up my flash drive to an emac...or get one of those usb 2 card readers. Little stuff but hey it's a nice to have. AS a side note: most of the time wind…

I spend a lot of time selling computers...and my opinions are shaped by what customers look for when they talk to me. And of course looking at other products in the market place. I don't build them and I have no desire to, but i do get to do a lo…

Quote: Originally posted by Barto You just don't get it. You can't just add a feature to a computer (at least not an AIO computer like the eMac). You need to upgrade the chipset, design a new motherboard, to one that supports that feature. NOT a …

The USB 2 ports and firewire are unrelated. None of you find it strange that ...... Without a form factor change the powerbooks and imacs all received new USB with the slight refresh. The emac has new configurations (just like the imacs and pow…

My goals/predictions for macworld 1. new iLife: iphoto more responsive, better support for large photo collections and better slideshow controls. imovie: more transitions, more options to burn to vcd or dvd, faster photo rendering. itunes: be…

I think the 1.25 g4 is really over priced as well: Let's compare a Sony (similar quality level, similar multimedia vision) g4 powermac $1299 1.25 g4 256 RAM 80 GB hard drive DVD/Combo drive firewire and usb 1 Radeon 9000 64 mb PCV-R…

but microsoft could use connectix just long enough to ensure backward compatibility of xbox games in xbox2, and then get rid of them once xbox2 reaches critical mass. But I imagine they will delay VPC for g5s for a while. (or maybe speed up the d…

It seems like IBM tends to under-promise and over-deliver so I wouldn't be surprised if some interesting things will happen with the Powerbooks. There is no way the current g4 powerbooks will survive until the end the 2004 (especially with upgrades…

or the g5 powerbooks are right around the corner and they just want to keep g4 powerbook demand up. Does anyone find it fishy that in recent months apple execs have gone out of their way to say there will be no g5 powerbooks when apple doesn't typi…

I think the 12" ibook is gone: as for the consumer line, but we will see a faster, smaller, g5 type 12" powerbook. For the people most concerned about the size of their laptop, money is less of anobject. For people looking for a laptop, the …

Why OS X needs Virtual PC... It will lower the cost of entry to a new mac. Most people who buy a new pc buy the new box, and keep their old software. (Microsoft does an excellent job making sure their software is backward compatible) Wh…

even though the resolution for the 12 and 14" ibooks is the same, many people in the target consumer market do not care about reslolution and look for screen size. I think the new laptop line will look more like this: 13"/14" widescreen if poss…

I think it is on its way out. Because looking at the laptop sales overall, 15" screens have increasing marketshare. Looking at the PC side, the vast majority sold are 14/15" screens. And many people (besides people in ASia) but a higher priorit…

It is far too expensive to switch for lots of people. It's the software: if you are ready, love Apple's OS but to use your new computer you need to get: microsoft office nortons photoshop web page software premiere (or final cut) etc A…
