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?

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.

It all balances out...

Well, I would consider a 27" screen and an i5 a slight improvement. I am *hoping* now that Apple's released the 27" AIO computers for $1,600, other manufactures will start going with larger screens as well. Imagine a HP Touchsmart with a 30" screen running Windows 7, that's less than $1000.

But I totally see your point. My iMac runs as good as the day I bought it, not really a reason to upgrade yet.

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?

Depends what you're gonna use it for. A big screen and good resolution means you could read something on the net, watch a film, design and write a letter. Something which I've tried to do on a 1440x900 19" screen. Yup, doesn't work lol

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

Wow, I'm really loving the price decrease on the Mac Mini, and did the base model also get an upgrade of default RAM? I'll be buying the Mac Mini, as well, I'm obsessed with them. 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.

The question is.

If someone already owns a microsoft computer..

Would they go and buy a £1000 computer or £50 for windows 7?

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:
