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... :/

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
