  • Checked all Apple prices in the Belgian store. Every Apple computer , including the screens and the Xserve & RaID, became cheaper. Prices in Euro are now approximately the same as in Dollars in the US store. Seems I bought my iMac just thre…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Thereubster It may have been for the addition of the 6800GT card now an option on the G5 tower.... This option was already available. No price changes for any of the Apple products, by the way. It seems that the …
  • Quote: Originally posted by aleph I ordered my 20" with bluetooth at a local shop (2 october). It seems the long shipping time problem is only affecting the 20" model since both 17" models are readily available there but they did not have an ide…
  • I ordered my 20" with bluetooth at a local shop (2 october). It seems the long shipping time problem is only affecting the 20" model since both 17" models are readily available there but they did not have an idea how long before the 20" will actual…
  • So, if I understand it correctly, installing 2*512 MB RAM gives me a faster computer then 1*1024 MB due to the 128 bit bus. Another question: the iMac can be upgraded to 2 GB. Is there any use for that? I mean, is it a huge advantage over 1 GB…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Zab The Fab This just hit me. The new screens are big, very big. What are they telling us? I'm making this up as I go folks so take it for what it is here's and idea: ? Headless iMac ? "iMonitors" versus "P…
  • OK I became a believer. So the new iMac G5 will be there right in time for the Apple Expo 2004 in Paris (31 aug to 4 sep). Strange though that Apple seemed to have planned a silent update (or did the iMac sell better then they expected?).
  • Only in the US store, folks. Maybe a hacker indeed. (or the rest of the world has to catch up ) Correction: It's also in the US educational store. I guess it will be true after all. A new iMac will make sense with the current model being o…
  • Truth is we will see an updated iMac very soon. It is now outpaced by all other macs (eMac included) and very expensive in comparison. Personally, I do not think Apple will dump the 15" model. They need a model between the "expensive" 17" iMac…
  • March 30 looks like a plausible date for the G5 updates when you look at the cheap memory offering from Apple for G5 and iMac (ends march 27). One glithc in this theory: in Europe this offering expires only on may 8. Anyone an idea? Let's hop…
  • No more 12" PowerBook? Could be true. One of the local resellers here is selling its "stock" of 12" PB with free bag offering (and some other stuff). They only do this for the 12" product. The 12" screen will eventually become more expensive…
  • My best guess for Apple's updating strategy: In this order: first the faster G5's (soon) then the PowerBook G5 and third the iMac G5 (mid 2004?) They make a lot more money with the first two.
  • Two price changes actually (Belgian site): 15" iMac EUR 1399 from 1450,79 17" iMac: EUR 1999 from 2055,79 The rest seems to be the same.
  • Quote: The special edition iPod will reportedly be priced at 549 Euros, including remote control, dock, and carrying case. At press time, conversion rates put this price at about $620 USD; for comparison, the standard 40GB iPod is priced at $500 US…
