Dual PowerMacs and Aluminum Displays?

[invaLPsion]

No way

I can't believe that your source would give you all this information about upcoming products. My bet is that nobody knows what the prices will be then or even what technologies will be available in 2005. Radeon 9300? I don't think so.......

Has to be completely false. iMac G5s will come this year, I'm guessing at WWDC.

Neatgekko, not that name again! I remember that last time you brought that name up. Remember that "inside information"?
soon.

That infrmation that I got from him seemed good to me. only time will tell if his predictions come true. Dates change, specs do not.

Gekko's Specs:
1.up to 3Ghz
2. four models
3. high price for 3Ghz model

I highly doubt they would have a single 1.8 at 1600. It would make much more sense to go dual across the line and have a dual 1.8 at slightly higher price like 1800. Dual 1.8 for 1800 is what I would buy but if they only had a single 1.8 I would feel like I needed more but probably would not want to spend an extra seven hundred dollars. Price differences seem too large.

I tend to agree. Its going to be a great 20th anniversary year for the Mac or some such from Jobs in January...has to be a new iMac to do that paraphrased claim justice...

When ever Apple decides to update the G5 is fine with me. I am in no rush as i am just waiting on the money i have now. The only thing i worry about right now is that i don't spend it on anything else i need in the next few months. My next purchase after my first apple product which will be the G5 PM rev B is a Nikon D70 digital camera. Once my money goes to apple for the PM i start saving again for the camera.

Boy, I heard somewhere that there's an extremely good chance of powermacs coming out the 23rd or 30th of March? I just can't remember where I heard that from. hmmmmmmm

I just recently got a 20" cinema display new, with applecare which I purchased for my powerbook. I am within the 10 day return limit, and I am wondering if I should return it in hopes of getting one of the new monitors. I wonder if the price will drop on the 23", and will its image quality be up to par with that of the current 20". Any ideas wether I would be able to get my applecare transfered to the new monitor if I am to return this one? Also, I got a good deal, with education + an extra 100 off for a stuck pixel. Any comments would be appreciated.

So PowerBook Applecare will cover an external monitor bought at the same time...mmm

Can't answer your question though...

Well you can always try it offcourse.. It is a bit unfair actually. The 10 day return limit is for if you don't like the product you have bought. It depends on what store you are, and how nice the people at that store are. We have a shop of our own, and we sometimes have customers that also want a just released new product that came out just a week after they bought theirs. Bad luck is what I call that. We often don't know when products arrive and therefor, whe don't take them back. Or we take them back as a used one, and they have to pay a supplement for the new model and we sell the other one as a used one.

Really depends on the store, but from my point of view, you should have waited for new displays when you wanted a new model. Now, it's a bit too late for that. But trust me. I know exactly how you feel. I bought a 3000 $ Powerbook Ti just 2 weeks before the new 17" model arrived. I was not able to turn it in for a trade either. and BTW, we still don't know IF and WHEN the new displays will arrive

I understand your point Ge4-ce. But remember I would be paying a $130 open box return fee, which technically should recover their cost of selling an open box product. And you are probably right that I should have been patient for new displays before buying this one--at the time though the march 23rd -30th dates had not been rumored though.

Either way I will be happy, because I like my current monitor. I guess I would be a little less happy if there were a drastic price reduction on the newer monitors, or if they release a 23" with picture quality as good as the 20" I now have. I think I will let this one go, and if I am blown away by the new monitors, there is allways ebay.

That sounds like a good plan nato55. You should really only buy what you need. I personally would find it very difficult to return a product with the 10 days unless there was something wrong. Good luck on whatever you decide.

March 23rd........

I hope so that it will happen, especially the displays. I allready spend my money on my G4 powerbook 15", so a new desktop system will have to wait. A nice alu cinema display would be a nice addition to the baby I'm typing this on...

Looks Like Apple is agressivly marketing the G5's, judging by their website the last few days... Perhaps an other indication that something is bound to happen.....

I have pretty solid and reliable information from Nov 2003 regarding the product launches to take place this year. I didn't post anything on macrumors.com though as I was a bit skeptical......

Now lets see if this comes true..if it does, then I know whats coming out in 2006

So what is coming out in 2006?
