  • Mine is, but it's on an arm actually. The deal is the VESA iMac adapter is about 1in thick, and any VESA wall mount will ikely be another 1in thick. So you'll have 2in which is enough for USB connections. I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, airpo…

  • doesn't the X600 have VIVO, ie H.264 decode acceleration?
    in Apple introduces iMac with built-in iSight Comment by tofutodd October 2005
  • IBM is a specialty chip manufactuer. They wouldn't spend millions on development of a mobile G5 unless there were guranteed customers. Apple is the only consumer of G5 chips...
    in IBM unveils dual-core PowerPC chips up to 2.5GHz Comment by tofutodd July 2005
  • I think the single 1.8 released today squashes any chance the neo 9,1 machine was a small headless. There is no room for a headless between the powermacs and the imacs now. shaving off 200mhz, the PCI slots and a drive bay does not create a $500…

  • hmmm, tower that I never install a PCI card in or free 17in integrated LCD?

  • really? i thought for electrolysis to occur at least both had to be conductors, but actually, I suppose I assumed that because I'd never seen the contrary (which is of course the wrong way to assume something). But metal and fiberglass are fine, c…
    in What's next for Apple notebooks? Comment by tofutodd September 2004
  • Anyone care to speculate on specs? 12 in PB bumped to 1.5, and will the iBooks be bumped to 1.2 and 1.4? A refurb 12 PB at $1350 is a good deal, especially when a 12 in iBook refurb is $950. $400 more for BT, AE, 10gb, 33% faster cpu, and fas…
    in Need laptop for school... wait for Tiger and G5 Comment by tofutodd September 2004
  • ok, so apple needs to release the 12" Powerbook of the Powermacs. A Power Mac mini. $1099 for same specs as new iMac sans display but with upgradeable gfx. Add the 20 in LCD and you have a mini powermac for $1199 + $1299 so $2499 for a machine ju…
    in iMac 4 Comment by tofutodd August 2004
  • yes, the bump in the box is not polystyrene, it is the white plastic clothlike protective bag folded back that all apple machines come in. agreed monkey, i don't care as much if the pics are fake or not, they're right on i think.

  • how about the arm is similar to a level, the iMac folds up against the wall when not in use, and down to hover over the desk when you want it. i don't know about you, but i can easily touch the wall behind my desk while sitting. And acutally, I ha…

  • iPoster, do you own a 20" Cinema Display? Once you do you'll really want it on your wall. My desks are usally so cluttered my drives can't open on eMac or iMac. Can you imagine, not having to own seperate desks, or one massive desk? If you can'…

  • What about the new MacWorld Paris banner? A super computer on your desk, a super computer on your wall. Next? No stand, it's an accessory to keep costs down, a big chuck of AL would cost a pretty penny.

  • Hopefully the eMac will get the 5200 or other Core Image supported card and a 1.5 ghz G4. If it is priced at $799 that'll be my next machine... although I suppose it could be a lackluster bump to 1.33 though. The $200 premium for 40gb and a sup…
    in TS reports on new imac specs Comment by tofutodd August 2004
  • Previously I never invested in gfx cards because they sat idle 99% of the time for me. QE is still not enough of an excuse for me to shell out $200 additional, my overclocked eMac can minimize/genie playing movies just fine, and it's strictly eyeca…
    in What do you expect to see at Paris? Comment by tofutodd July 2004
  • HM, first off, thanks for being patient. I was quick to judge in my earlier posts and was pointing fingers. I am warming up to your side. However I still have two issues. Maybe in 10.4 we'll see more utilization. But even HD video doesn't t…
    in What do you expect to see at Paris? Comment by tofutodd July 2004
  • Murchison: I just don't think that the QE affects will tax a 9800, let alone a 9000. A X800 or 9800 can crank through graphics like there is no tomorrow, and I just can't compare the interface of the OS no matter how pretty to any game that would …
    in What do you expect to see at Paris? Comment by tofutodd July 2004
  • Why would the graphics be upgradable? People don't seriously game on an iMac. It's for the casual gamer. They'll play THPS4, Bugdom, etc, might buy Unreal 2004 and still enjoy playing it if they have to turn down the detail just as much if it had …
    in What do you expect to see at Paris? Comment by tofutodd July 2004
  • The new iMac form factor should reduce the price by $100 at least without that damn arm. Maybe even $200 with less surface area, etc if the mobo is behind the screen. I think these would be nice: 15" LCD iMac3 Geforce 4mx 1.6ghz G5 or maybe…
    in Will the eMac soon retire as well? Comment by tofutodd July 2004
  • No, the second port is a second DVI port to support the high resolutions a 30" LCD for desktop use would have. See ATI's new Fire GL card.
