i'll be honest, there is no way i am spending $2100 on a computer with in integrated 20" monitor, and not being able to use it when i need to upgrade in 2-3 years (or well when i get sick of the computer). Do you ever wonder what happens to t…

Saying Apple doesn't care about marketshare is crazy. Apple is in the business to sell computers, and sell enough to make shareholders ahppy and to make more money for the company. Apple doesn't care, or need to be the number one software or hard…

Well here is where we disagree... for about 10% of pc buys close enough is good enough...and well, apple still needs every sale they can get. If Apple suddenly released a mini g5 tomorrow will Apple's marketshare jump overnight. Nope, but Apple c…

Quote: Originally posted by Ensign Pulver I agree that they'd sell like hotcakes, but only to people who would have bought an iMac or gone up to a Power Mac anyway. Even at $999, it's still not a switcher machine, it still won't grow marketshare.…

I love how everytime someone mentions price and performance, it turns into a discussion about why OS X is better than Windows. For me the point of this thread is the effect Apple under delivering will have on potential customers. Apple has ver…

Well I think there are two key issues regarding the severe disappointment in the new powermacs. Speed has little to do with it (well at least actual speed) 1. The initial g5s were announced 12 months ago And for 12 months everyone has been wai…

Quote: Originally posted by LudwigVan Some don't think so. The 2.5 G5s aren't the problem, what about the 1.25 emacs and imacs. These are slow compared to the PC competition. No BS about the Megahertz Myth.... When your pricing puts you up …
