MacMini, "Magic Mouse", MacBook, iMac all changed
All look crap to me.
MacBook is alright but I hate the new case design, the MacMini is cool, the Magic Mouse... what the hell? lmao, the iMac looks cool but physically, by the looks of it, looks awful.
I like the mouse! :D
I'm glad I waited to order an iMac!!!!
Everything looks fantastic in my opinion and the iMac's are just... wow. But hey, I'm an Apple fanboy don't listen to anything I say. :D
We're renovating our kitchen, I hope the 27" will fit under the cupboards.. the original plan was to put a 24" there!!
Not the best updates Apple have done to be honest. Sounds like they are running out of ideas! But anyway, it's nice to see the iMacs finally get Quad core processors. I just hope the new Apple mouse is much better than the mighty mouse with the many problems that came with. :)
I was thinking of investing in a MacBook, looks like apple have just ticked another box on my reason list to get one list :D
iMac and quad cores?
ITS ABOUT TIME:D.
It's a shame my December 2008 Aluminum iMac is running so good. I need an excuse to get a 27 incher:(
Apple have done a good job at this update they have added and changed things that people have been asking for.
The new iMac and Macbook look very nice.
I think the 27" is a bit too large and the 21" is a bit too small, the 20" & the 24" were just right.
Quad core iMac? Where? I thought the i5 was only Dual Core.Quote:

I quite like the actual design of the new macbook but I agree that they buggered up by removing firewire (and still only 2 USB ports?!), single audio in/out and remote sensor.Quote:

flick between the normal apple mouse, and then the magic mouse. the magic mouse is 1p more expensive, but look at the other prices change on the specs o.O
tut tut to whoever coded that lol. apple are all about perfection haha
well anyway, it all looks nice, and still want one lol
I still love mac's, but I still think they are complete rip offs.
For the cheap iMac in the UK it is £949
Get it in America it is 1,199$
If Apple were being fair in dollars it would cost: $1565 - so all English people are being completely ripped off?
its the same for everything. ridiculous. iPods, playstations, xboxs, tvs. you name it and it will probably be cheaper in america.Quote:

Someone worked out that it would be cheaper to get an iMac imported.Quote:

Global Express..............From 1 day(s).........Up to £ 200........Tracked.........£134.99
Global Priority...............From 3 day(s).........Up to £ 100........Tracked.........£111.89
Global Value.................From 5 day(s).........Up to £ 50..........Not Tracked...£109.49
i really like them, but i think there's no worrys in thinking OMG I HAVE TO UPDATE FRMO WHAT I'VE GOT... there's no real difference, but yeah, it's still pretty cool, the magic mouse looks really confusing, but looks rly urmmmmmm.......... .... WORD OMG MYKE THINK urmmmmmmmmmmm ergonomic 8-|
Why can you get the iPhone on pay as you go and I in North America can only get it on a $90 data plan on a 3 year contract. Don't even ask about the Palm Pre. It's a 500 dollar contract fee.Quote:

Having said that, if the Apple refurb store has some deals on because of the refresh I won't hesitate to upgrade;)
To be honest is there any need to sit half a metre away from a 30in screen?Quote:

You must never have seen Chris Prillo's setup. He used 2 30" screens and a 24" iMac on his desk:)Quote:

The Magic mouse on the other hand isn't really an innovation in my opinion, I've never really liked multi-touch anything. I must admit I do feel Apple may have 'rushed' this update, maybe in competition with Microsoft?
Bingo, they timed it around the Windows 7 launch on purpose.Quote:

Nother thing is if you bought a mac like one week ago, you are gonna be SO pissed off.
I have talked about it for so long, but I think now could be the time to get my iMac ;)
27" iMacs don't have a lot in common with a $50 piece of software that --MICROSOFT-- rushed making to fix the Vista situation. I don't exactly remember XP or Vista being a $50 upgrade:rolleyes:Quote:

Apple release Snow Leopard and these changes in time for the Windows 7 Update. Why? Because they know when Microsoft release a new OS companies such as Dell, PC World and many others do computer deals with it.Quote:

Windows 7 is actually the most tested (literally) and refined OS of the computer world..
And why can't Microsoft lower the price? Apple did with Snow Leopard.
Personally I think there should be a rule saying no "Mac vs PC" arguments :rolleyes:
Agreed, so petty, both have their perks,people should just have their opinion and maybe just keep in to themselvesQuote:

VISTA was a rush release - Win7 was in BETA etc for months. You cannot hoenstly think Microsoft rush released Windows 7.
Infact I think its apple who rush released these *hardly different* computers, as a rival for Windows 7 (got knows why - OS's and computers are different..)
And you can hardly talk about rip off upgrades. Snow Leopard had virtually no changes - atleast Win7 is different :|
Mouse looks sexy + cool. MacBooks look even more sexier, and the iMacs have gotten even better.
Good update IMO.
First, they first began development of Vista before the official XP release and it came out years and years later.Quote:

There is absolutely no way that Microsoft would have made such a big deal about Windows 7, released it so quick, advertised it so much and sold it so cheap if it wasn't for Windows Vista being an utter disaster. Microsoft never sold Vista or XP like they're selling Win7 now.Quote:

Windows 7 was hardly "rushed" and if so, they did a good job rushing it :PQuote:
