Still far from perfect, but a very good step in the right direction.
This has me seriously ponder about my investment into the Mac platform in general again.
Overall, some very bad points aside, I have to admit that they did show solid commitment to the Mac by the now very low standards.
Now if this isn't a one-off, but a long-term strategy that they are going to repeat I will be much happier Mac user again I'm sure.
Keep it up, Apple. For once you didn't disappoint me on the Mac side in a sweeping way. (still wagging my finger at value proposition and the future of the 32bit stack)
No, it's not. I just bought my mother one of these machines.
At 72, she's not interested in speed, much more in a lower entry price.
I don't understand... It doesn't matter what your mother needs when she buys a PREMIUM computer.
The price tag Macs come with this SHOULD be the bare minimum and if your mother doesn't need it so be it, but by your logic you might as well buy her a Mercedes and claim that she doesn't need the engine it comes with, 80HP is enough after all!
