That can't be it, lol, 50 minutes?

Clearly Apple doesn't know what to do with iPad. This update was pretty lame.

It's hard to make the best better. I think it was a decent update.

 

[djsukebe]

Where TF is the thunderbolt display!!!

 

[tonyr6]

FREAKING COME ON.
Again another year no freaking new apple tv

 

[betabeta]

I thought this was going to be 2 hours?

80 minutes.

This keynote was so boring even Tim Cook sounded bored =/

Was really hoping for something unexpected and updates for MacBooks. Sigh.

Mac mini lives!

One good part about Tim Cook's reign is he does try to give something to everyone. I think Steve Jobs might have killed the Mac mini by now; instead, it lives on.

1 hr 20 mins by my watch.

Disappointed with there being no AppleTV news. That is a stale product, that while it is still great, is overdue for a refresh.

Still don't know why they haven't opened it for Apps. I guess they are waiting for Google to be first with their new Set top box.

 

[biscuitsxluv]

They were updated a few months ago! Minor spec bump.

I'll just wait for another 6 months or so. No rush. Thanks!

 

[calaverasgrande]

still no TB2 display for the 2013 Mac Pro?
srsly?

 

[g0odfr1end102]

I've gotta say... The only thing that got me excited was... Yosemite

New MAC looks great, but the price point is very aggressive.

 

[abshole765]

tv? Lmao. Whats that?

 

[thewebb]

There are simply no suprises at an apple event anymore

Maybe you shouldn't be on macrumors if you want to be surprised

 

[Intelligent]

PCIE SSD for the Mac Mini!! Awesome.
And 5k Display for the iMac!!!!.

 

[lewismayell]

1 hr 20 mins by my watch.

Half an hour of already announced software being shown and talking about figures isn't really what anyone cares about, so 50 minutes of the important stuff

 

[Renzatic]

Hope they're adding some beefy graphics card options to push all those pixels around! (especially full-screen gaming and video editing).

Video editing is actually more taxing on the CPU than it is the GPU, which are used mostly to pick up the slack via GPGPU tasks, so it should work pretty well there. Gaming though? You'll probably have to set the res to 1920x1080 to get the best performance out of whatever you're playing.

It's a bit of a truism that Macs are excellent work machines, but only middling to decent for games.

MAGICAL experience

 

[rGiskard]

Just as I thought: Retina iMac price is insanely reasonable.

iPad Air 2 looks awesome, I wonder if it weighs less, too? Nothing on the resolution, so the 3X display reference in iOS 8.1 may be for the 12.9" maxiPad.

Mini 3 looks good - I hope they've finally fixed the display. Third times a charm, right?

iPad mini become fatter))

p.s. ooops, no...the same

Link for the new AMD chip :

nope. thats not the chip

this is a m295x, ie a mobile verison. brand new. the R9 M290X is Pitcairn. Comparable to Radeon HD 7870. (got that from anandtech)

gtx 980 is over 2x faster in gaming then 7870

 

[Nozuka]

damn.. most boring apple event ever.

 

[HenryDJP]

Only 30secs for iPad Mini 3?
***** Apple!!

It really wasn't worth taking much time on it.
