Any ideas as to why the higher spec 2.8 model is only upgradeable to 2gb? yet the lower spec model is upgradeable to 4gb!? Gotta be a typo?

This is my first ever post :D, yet i've been reading the posts year for at least a year. Ok so enough with the formalities.

The more and more i look at the new imac on apple's site, the more and more its growing on me. I'm sure the first encounter at apple stores is going to blow me away. Usually the way apple products roll.
 
Wow...I didn't see the HD2600 coming. I thought the 8600GT was a safe bet, maybe even a chance for a GTS. And no BTO...this is just depressing. Everything else about them looks great, and I was so ready to get one...but I just can't bring myself to pay $1800+ for a computer that can't even play games that came out a year ago. Man...what a big "Eff You."

For everyone else that doesn't care about ever playing a game, congrats on the good updates.

I agree... the new iMac is starting to grow on me too... (and yet... I just put $2,000+ on my credit card :rolleyes:) :apple:
 
Dude, today Apple spanked Dell, Microsoft & Adobe.

Dell - on the crappy look and clumbsiness of their computers
Microsoft - on how they bloated Excel and made it tough to use
Adobe - on the really poor the magic wand tool is

I almost blacked out from the excitement!
Steve, tell your developers, "y'all rock!"

Yes, everything is great except for this major letdown. Argh. I will still be buying - but will probably stick to my PS3 for gaming. That's what I've usually done, I'm more of a console gamer, but am still big time disappointed. Maybe the next iteration will have something along the lines of the 8600... *sigh* :mad::(

That was the reason that previously everyone thought the keyboard pics were fakes.

Yeah but spelling out what a key does instead of using a computer-nerd-jargon is the kind of thing Apple does, that nobody else ever thinks of doing because once those marketing people learn the jargon they all use it to seem cool with the engineers. Apple's marketing team has a clue. They know the computer needs to work for people who don't design computers. That's why I knew the end of the "Apple Key" was real.
 
My Apple store is setting them up right now. I asked if they had the C2E configuration, they aren't sure. My paypal transfer from the sale of my 24" iMac (white) hasn't gone into my checking yet, when it does (hopefully by Thursday afternoon) I'll buy the C2E iMac. *sigh* Can't get that vid card out of the back of my head though...

Just Bought A Mac Mini

In Australia, Melbourne.
On Monday 6th August 4pm ordered mac mini base model
Tuesday 7th it was shipped.
Waiting for arrival. (Wednesday 8th)
Hoping to GOD it is new one, however i suspect not.

What should i do?
All that software and hardware upgrades for less money?
Be serious Please, this is a big investment for me, and I feel Apple has screwed me, as has the rumor that the mini would die.
I thought they'd kill it, so i ordered one. and now i lose out.
WHAT CAN I DO???
