My fingers hurt just looking at that mouse.

What's going to happen to the 13" MacBook Pros now (bought one a bit over month ago)? The new MacBook is just far better and you also save 200 euros... :/

I thought it was supposed to be the CHEAPEST MACKBOOK EVER! same price, same specs, bleh..

Thinner, lighter, aluminum, backlit keyboard, firewire 800, SD card, 8GB ram support is what you get with that extra money.

Yeah no kidding. Carpal tunnel syndrome...

i never said it does :rolleyes: I just am pointing out what real use is server edition on that hardware that you can't use standard OSX for... Kiosks? why do you need a server edition for Kiosk?

A lot of organisations that have a few mac's for various reasons will just buy a mac mini and dump server edition on it so they can manage the mac's properly instead of buying a full on xserve. This is the market that apple is targeting.

The new imac's are lovely, but it bugs the heck out of me how Apple continue to ignore blu-ray because of the whole poor "bag of hurt" excuse. When every other PC company has the option somewhere, it makes them look stupid.

and why haven't they learnt from the glossy drama with the macbook pro's? They were forced to eventually offer a matte option on them, so it's annoying to see them insist on it with the standard macbooks again

Magic mouse looks very sleek and sexy and has some really good killer features.seriously! mouse that can also work as a track pad!!

Awesome!.

But it doesn't look very conformable :huh: .I'll wait for for user reviews.

Doesn't look comfortable by a long shot...

I'll stick with my G5 thanks.

I don't know why you people say it looks uncomfortable. How many of you have studied industrial design. The slim curvature seems to adapt perfectly to the curvature in your palm, a curvature that is not exaggerated by an unnecessary thickness in the device.

[SolidSapphire]

It looks uncomfortable because i don't think you can rest your palm on it.. Correct?

Local Apple Store doesn't have any in stock :( I guess I'll order online....

Edit: What would be the fastest? Order online or wait for the local store? (Ottawa)

But you can, this design is not new. Other companies, like Iomega or Logitech have tried this design with great results.

Judging by every previus mac mouse, I don't really think the apple designers and engineers have even heard about industrial design.

Order online would take around 2 to 5 days, while the store could either get the stock tomorrow or in a week. It's a gamble.

Just ordered the Magic Mouse. It's a bit of a gamble I know, but if it really doesn't work out I'll just return it.

Maybe it's a new team? :p

Anyway, as with anything, we cant judge an actual product by the faults of an old one.

I was going to wait for the store but then I noticed that the canadian store has a mistake....the upgrade for the video card is free :) *HINT HINT to the canadians* So I already ordered with the video card upgrade :)

Love the new MacBook design and the mouse looks super sexy and I like the multitouch stuff but I agree it doesn't look very comfortable. Looks like your hand is going to hurt after some hours of use but I don't know I haven't use it yet.

[profets]

Come on, it's really simple to understand: it's targeted as a mini sized server.

but with 2.5" 5400rpm drives?

it would have been cool if they kept the shape but just made it taller, so at least you could add multiple 3.5" drives

[Ci7]

wander why didn't they opt for 5850 instead of 4850

shortage maybe

and their Ci7s are nothing more then "lyenfield "

lastly thought i would find SSD as an option but none

that tell you something about "performance" :rolleyes:

Here's a link to the new 27" imac :) http://www.apple.com/imac/design.html

there's also the new mini http://www.apple.com/macmini/

and macbook http://www.apple.com/macbook/

and the new mouse http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/

Although they look great, I would wait a while. The first generation are the ones with the bugs and problems. They don't really get sorted out until after the second generation. I am sure they are going to have their issues.

I fell for the marketing hype of the Mighty Mouse a few years ago... I think I'll pass on this new one. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

[c_los]

WOW OMG HOT, all it needs now is some kind of vagina hole and I'll be set!!!!

Seriously though, its nice, but too bad its apple :)

Just got an applecare for imac on ebay for $70 ;)

According to Engadget regarding the Magic Mouse:

Right clicking requires a lifting of the left click finger, just like the Mighty Mouse

Count me out then. This was the thing I hated most about the Mighty Mouse... :no:
