    in What is Apple going to release for this anniversary year?! Comment by jade July 2004

    in the iMac G5 or G4? Comment by jade July 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by MCQ It's not as if Tiger won't support your laptop... if Core Image is requiring the use of pixel shaders to do the work that it does (which I'm guessing is the case based on the card list), then the iBook/eMac/iMac 15…

  • yeah but before ipod 4g comes out, it might help if the ipod mini is actually widely availible in all of the major channels....i mean best buy doesn't even have them?!?!?!?!
    in Apple needs to update iPod to stay on top? Comment by jade July 2004
  • the powerbooks are being outclassed in many counts. Powerbook screens have fallen seriously behind (see fujitsu and sony for ultra crisp and sharp notebook screens). Centrino kicks but in terms of battery life, and there are many full-featured li…

  • Powermac g5s match up very well with equivalent high-end machines...and they are priced fairly for what they are...but here is what you can get from HP for the price of a 15" imac AMD Athlon(TM) 64 3200+ operating at 2.0GHz Microsoft(R) Window…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph If you bought either of these, you probably aren't a consumer. Consumer systems have 17" CRTs at the low end, or 15" or 17" LCDs. (And I'm not talking about Apple's line here.) How much did a 19" LCD cost two…

  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave You may well be right. I just hope Apple can figure out a way to offer a decent AIO with a flat panel display for $1000-1200. Low-end-computer shoppers won't likely pay more. Actually $1000-1200 is the mid to…

  • New imacs confirmed? Well based on past history (ie dual 2.0 g5s, ipod minis) They need to be announced this week to guarantee they will be generally available in reasonable quantities by the holiday buying season!

  • Quote: Originally posted by Ensign Pulver I'm so glad somebody else realizes that this is the whole problem with Apple's marketshare. Apple's adherence to the AIO form factor is mainly due to their long standing inability to be an effective lo…
