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 ;)

    • Look up "greed". If you are willing to buy that it's only inflation, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
