There's no point in arguing w/ the people who don't want to see an xMac come out, they refuse to allow logic and stats to sway them. This is for a good reason, they're terrified that an xMac would kill the iMac. Would it? It would definitely outsell…

This is in response to SDW2001's latest rant. You're saying WE aren't sensible? Get over yourself. I don't want an iMac, I realize this bothers you for some reason but guess what, I don't care. Are you selling a used MacPro for $1200-1500? …

Mac Mini - not expandable enough (ie video card options, internal hds) iMac - I'd rather buy monitor and system seperately for a variety of reasons, also has the same expandability problems as the mini. Mac Pro - too expensive, starts over 2 g…

The original iMac was new and different, it caught people's attention, the current one is an LCD monitor with a large chin. It's time for Apple to refresh the look of their systems anyway now that the intel transition is done (hardware-wise anyway).…

Quote: Apple is a high end brand and should provide high end products. Low end products hurt the branding. So you're saying Apple should also get rid of the Mac Mini, 17 and 20 inch iMacs and the Macbooks? Since these are all low end products...…

Should there be a plain old Macintosh again? Yes and here's a few reasons why. 1. To really go after switchers, got them looking w/ the Intel chips and entry level mini's. However, they need some meat to chew on, iMac's will sell to some the rest…

Are people so afraid of the iMac being marginalized? If it gets cannibalized who cares as long as the margins are the same? I've yet to see any good reasons for not selling a midtower type system. The desktop market is not shrinking, it's just n…

People seem to think Apple is doing fine because they recently hit 6% marketshare. Yet if you really look at the numbers they could be at 9% in both desktop and laptops. Currently these two segments are nearly even in sales 49% to 50% for the rest o…

The same people railing against a reasonable midtower are pretty much the same ones who claimed Apple would never target the sub-$1000 segment and yet we have the Mac mini. Keep ranting folks and don't forget to pretend you were right anyway someh…

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph [/b].The fastest-growing market in the consumer sector is the ever-so-expandable "portable" computer, including desknotes as well as laptops. So much for expandability as a major consumer selling point. [/B] …

Quote: Originally posted by vinney57 The iMac is an All-In-One and always will be. You are talking about a totally different machine. Fine where is this totally different machine? There isn't one w/in the same price brackets is there? So ther…

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison No they haven't. This is your dream. Consumers haven't spoken about anything. The last best selling computer(original iMac) wasn't headless. I love they way some of you make stuff up to support your wishes. …

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph [/b].As for the "cheap headless box," I have to say that "everyone" does not include me. A cheap headless box is a toy for some geeks (not all geeks, or I'd want one). It's not a consumer product. [/B] Consu…

Quote: Originally posted by kenaustus AIO a problem? Look at all the notebook sales - all of them are AIOs and have the same limited upgrading as the iMac. Since I have had no problems with the two PBs I have owned - both "lowly" G4s - I have n…

Quote: Originally posted by cubist And besides, if AIOs don't sell, why is everyone so hot on the Vaio models? Also, Dell's selling a boatload of their compact combo systems. People are buying them... especially businesses. The problem is t…

Quote: Originally posted by NittanyLionTosh Apple has a loyal user base, but you know that already. Apple's market share is not growing very much.. The problem is that Apple's marketshare isn't growing, at best it's stagnating. They do look …

Quote: Originally posted by Messiahtosh Right here and now I predict that the next iMac will outsell the original, meaning more than 6 million units in its life span. It may sell more in it's lifespan, but only if it's lifespan is double that…

One of the biggest reasons that the iMac2 and likely the iMac3 did not and won't do as well as the original is the display. People bought the iMac1 because it was a decent price even if the monitor were to die out in a year's time. Today's iMac2 o…
