Never mind the f*!!!!g singing, they should concentrate on bringing some products to Market! Apple may be worth billions but logic dictates that if they had a current desktop and monitor offering, they might make more! Build it and they will buy!
To be honest, I'm fed up with Apple ignoring it's existing base of customers and today, after years of mac use, priced up a Dell XPS! Shock horror yes, but £1500 buys a 2.66 i7 quad core, 6gb, 1TB HDD, TWIN 512MB NVIDIA and a 24" display. Now I of all people know the benefits of mac os and iLife etc etc ... But even those caveats don't make for what I'm sure would be at least a £500 premium ... That's if Apple could ever squeeze all that in an iMac ... and would!
Let's wait and see if how Apple can surprise us SOON (I doubt unfortunately!)
Have you ever used an XPS with Vista? If you had, you'd gladly go back to OSX ... it's not only about the specs.
One guy in my lab has an XPS notebook and a just bought a MacBook. The MB starts faster from totally off than his does resuming windows.
We found that I can ... swipe into the building, walk to my office, take off my jacket, take teh MB out of the bag and start using a Word document faster than he can resume Vista. LOL.
You get what you pay for ... you can keep the extra hardware and I'll take the nicer integrated package (hardware/software).
