Wow it makes the old iMac look obsolete.

That's Apple's MO. If anyone asks why they would make a desktop thin, there's the reason. Sleeker design that'll make previous designs look old and outdated, making you want buy the new model.

What's the Fusion Drive Phil??

Oh so they finally did it. It was about time.

 

[Hell0W0rld]

Never mind

When will iMacs become like those smart TVs or iPads or iPhones where it is touch screen? The changes in Mountain Lion is pretty close to iOS you would think it would be possible for a Touch screen Macs.

Fushion Drive is nothing new. Seagatehas done this for a while.

 

[frayne182]

O god here we go...

Apple Fusion Drive = Hybrid drive

Hybrid drives have been out for ages, and here they go touting it as something new.

Agreed.

Same with how they magically had higher resolutions then TV's.

Man...watching these things always costs me money. Going to get a new iMac

I can't wait to charge my CC with this beauty iMac!

Fusion drive

Looks like Apple has been reading the countless SSD threads

 

[Alfuh]

Fusion Drive

Both Flash and HDD combined into a drive that is in one partition

Software automatically decides where things go ...

This is pretty cool

Edit - I think the neat part is that OSX runs it automatically, have past drives had anything that could do this?

 

[JGIGS]

So for those who own the 15" mbpr is the retina display and ssd worth the premium? I'm not a power user the most taxing thing I will use it for is playing .mkv files to my tv.

Also is it just me or does 15" mbpr seems better value than the 13"?

Every hardware manufacturer has. Apple s acting like they invented the wheel here.

That would kill your arm. You couldn't use it for more than a few minutes.

Been out for awhile.

 

[jrswizzle]

That fusion drive seems like a nifty deal - lets wait for the price....

 

[wyliss]

Music before the event began?

Does anybody know the name of the artists that were playing before the event began?
Cheers

 

[Want300]

yeah, people are going to upset about that

True, but I do like to check out AudioBooks from the library and burn them into iTunes because I usually cannot listen to them in just 2 weeks, especially when some of them are 20+ hours.

Aren't they always?

 

[Tech198]

Its one thing to say its Fusion Drive is built in to OS X. ... But lets see what happens. I bet they'll be updates. Just like PoweNap with the Air.

 

[Jumpman6]

The iMac I've been waiting 7 years for. A thing of beauty! Stunning.

Haha I was just about to post that.

"We've got this awesome new technology"

Whilst everyone else thinks "Hmm...sure I've seen that somewhere before..."
