New iMac G5 — #45
This is Apple's subtle jump into the 'Media Centre' idea that the PC industry has been pushing for so long now...I mean, it's not a full fledged TV tuner and such, but I do like th…

how much thinner is the the new imac?
i've just ripped the new imac dimensions off the apple site, but has anyone got the dimensions of the previous imacs?
just curious since stev…

Thinner is the last thing you want. The G5 gets so hot that the tighter the enclosure the worse the cooling. I suffered from the exploding capacitors and now just wait for my iMa…

as a 12" powerbook user (1.33g alubook), i'm both disappointed and relieved.
disappointed because i'd hoped for at least a speed bump, maybe a better screen, and the backlit keybo…

Anyone who was expecting something major hasn't been reading the news. With the Mactels less than a year away, this bump is fine to hold the line until the new models come.

This is a pathetic upgrade.
The screen isn't 1920x1200. Why not? You can get 1920x1200 on a Dell, and it costs $1200 less.
No dual-layer DVD burner either.
Overall, I'm not impr…

Have you ever tried reading anything on a 1900x1200 17" screen?
the "new" books...let the ranting begin... — #6
Exactly. Many people will wait. If you need a 15 or 17 right now, the update isn't bad but nothing to break the bank over. If anything, this leads me to think that the Mactel PBs w…

I was SO impressed with the updates today that I just bought a 12" iBook. Screw the PowerBooks until Apple gets their act together. I'm keeping my money.

Well I have been waiting for a new PB to replace my 1Gig PB 17" for quite some time now.
I was full of anticipation, and really was hoping for a 2Gig PB.
Well, as we know now, n…

So apparently you're Rev. A isn't getting the job done when it comes to Aperture, eh?

Yup, by a whole 250 MHz.

The PowerBook was just what has been predicted and nothing more. Apple just can't get a G5 in that little case, and the little case is one of the PowerBook's biggest "features". …

I'm not impressed!
This was most probably the last PowerBook G4 update ever and this was all they could manage.
I was hoping for a speed-bumped 12", with a graphic card that supp…
