Apple Announces New iMacs, Mac Minis, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule

Hmm, I may go run to the 5th Ave Apple Store. :) I don't need the 320GB drive, I'll just get the cheaper one and use my 2TB NAS with it. Now if that Mini Display-DVI port can be converted to HDMI for display on my TV.... *broioioioing*

The best part of £1k for an entry level ready to go desktop (the mini doesn't count) really is just too much, especially in these times.

They will still sell, but it's a great shame the cost of entry isn't lower.

I was going to upgrade my Core Duo 17 inch iMac to a new 20 or 24 inch one but not now. Have Apple not heard of the global recession?
 
No LED iMac and the prices are up.

**** you Apple! This update is ridiculous after being overdue for so long. What the hell were you waiting for? Not the latest technology I guess, but to get rid of the old model first.
 
Anyone know what's so special about the new Airport Extreme? I bought one last week and wonder if I should exchange it for the new one.

EDIT: I've answered my own question. The Apple store now lists two different Airport Extreme base stations, the gigabit ethernet unit for $20 less (which I own) and a "dual band" unit at the old price. This is getting really confusing....
 
Nice but , Teh Prices !!!!!!


£950 for an iMac ? £500 for a Mac Mini and £1900 for a Mac Pro !

what apple think i do for a living ! rob banks? (or Bankers)
 
UK prices will also rise when VAT goes back up to 17.5%.

Cost of entry is too high at those prices, in any economic conditions, let alone the present.
 
Ouchhhhhhh! £1,799 GBP for the top of the line iMac.

Frankly, not all that impressed with the update - very little to justify the price in my mind. I'm definitely waiting for a "proper" revision/update - hopefully later in the year (cue start next cycle of rumours :D:D)
 
What is apple thinking??
599€ and 799€ for the mini is ridiculous. Even if they would have priced it at the old prices it wouldn't be that great deal.
I waited a long time to buy my first mac but with this prices i'm out.

I would say because the upgrade is somewhat disappointing. Looks like there are now two motherboards with the lowend one only supporting 8gb of ram.

But on the other hand it is intels latest CPU with builtin Memory controller aka Core i7
 
No chance

Absolutely ridiculous. That's all I can say. I simple can't believe that they have ramped the price of the iMac up for a poxy C2D!! They are trying to compete in a the desktop class marketplace with over priced while underspec'd kit.

So, if we are led to believe that SL will fully utilise the quad core proc's these machines are going to be out of date come the summer. Nice one.

Thanks Apple! Thanks for rewarding brand loyalty with a middle finger. Especially in such time of economic turbulence. Get a freaking grip.
 
What was the pricing on the old iMacs i cant remember has the lower end got cheaper or more expensive, English store prices only please?
