Guest Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm annoyed that they've pushed up prices on the Time Capsule. Had they lowered them even just a little, I probably would have dropped the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Anyone notice the corded keyboard now is missing the num pad :( lol wuuuuut. I better take care of my corded keyboard then. Not fussed about the numpad particularly, but I do want the delete/pgup/pgdn/home/end keys. EDIT: the old keyboards are still there, just hidden. Thank god for that.

giga Veteran Posted March 3, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2009 The Mac Pro interior was re-designed. Apparently those white boxes hold the CPU.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I still think they should come up with a tower that isn't as fancy as the mac pro starting at $999 all the way up to $1999. It could have regular Core2Duo/Core2Quad cpus instead of the workstation grade Xeon etc to bring the price down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Gil Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm annoyed that they've pushed up prices on the Time Capsule. Had they lowered them even just a little, I probably would have dropped the cash. You mean in the UK right? In Portugal they've lowered actually. ?269 for the 500GB and ?449 for the 1TB. I was thinking about getting one but it was still a bit too expensive. I'm sold on the 500GB Capsule now especially because of the dual band capability!

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted March 3, 2009 Author Subscriber² Share Posted March 3, 2009 In the low-end iMacs: 'NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of shared DDR3 memory' ... wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Gil Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 In the low-end iMacs:'NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of shared DDR3 memory' ... wtf? So? It's the same thing in laptops, and pretty much every integrated chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted March 3, 2009 Author Subscriber² Share Posted March 3, 2009 So? It's the same thing in laptops, and pretty much every integrated chip. Before the upgrade even the low end iMac came with a discrete graphics card. Only a Radeon 2400, alas, better than onboard graphics with shared RAM.

Dane Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Well I am happy they finally updated the mini, although standard only 1 gig of ram. That kind of sucks, if I get one I'll just buy ram off of new egg and attempt to put that in myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted March 3, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2009 My only complaint with the mini, is I still think its a bit pricey. 100~$ bit more. The 50$ edu discount does help, but you still need to upgrade the low end one with ram and what not. Anyone else notice the iMacs no longer come with the apple remote?

PyX Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) What I find totally ridiculous is the price of the iMac's RAM. I wanted to wait for the next line (as in, the one in 2010) and get an iMac with 8 GB of RAM, but if they're charging an extra 1000 CAD for it, I might as well look somewhere else. I hope it's not like the MacBook and that the DDR3 from everywhere is compatible because I won't be paying this much for my memory. Edit : When I said 1 000 CAD, I meant 1 200 CAD. :crazy: I want to shoot myself now. And I thought "Oh, it's not so expensive, the last model, it's 2200." But it was on the US Store. It's 2600 here. I don't know what to say... Edited March 3, 2009 by PsykX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermanngod Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 so they have been released in the UK now just been looking at the specs of all the new imac, mac mini and mac pro VERY NICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted March 3, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2009 now we can just live in dreamland hoping that the announcement on the 24th (if there is one) is going to be that they are finished with Snow Leopard and that they are going to be putting it on all new models as of that day. (being that i am purchasing a MacBook in April i hope that this is the case. however i can still be more than happy to purchase the new OS when it comes out later this year. ( i would just prefer not to have to install it after the fact being that this is going to be my first Mac) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Actually the RAM apple adds on are priced less ridiculously now... if I remember correctly. 2 gig is only 50$ more. Rather just go to newegg instead of overpriced ram from apple. Its a nice update though, I guess if you just plan on using OSX with maybe vista or win 7 on boot camp and no games you will be fine.

suspiria Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The mini is pretty sweet. To hell with the iMac, I'll take a mini and a Dell display or something. What is very odd though is the new mini keyboard is standard across the iMac line.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
