What are you buying in 2007?

[R.Youden]

What computer (or anything else) will you be buying in 2007? Just though it would be interesting to list what people expect to buy and them come back and update the posts as they purchase stuff. Anyway here is my list:

Definitly:

Quicktime Pro Just Purchased
2Gb RAM for my MacBook Pro It is in the post to me as we type
New Logitech MX1000 Bluetooth mouse Again, in the post
Leopard

Probably:

Aperture (Getting very fed up with iPhoto and I want to start taking RAW photos)

Maybe:

Adobe CS3 (Don't know how much I need it but the student discount is so good it may be a long term investment)
iPhone (Depends how much it costs in the UK)

 

[aswitcher]

Mac Mini Multimedia

Mighty Mouse

Airport Extreme N

iPhone - name pending law suit

New MacBook Pro

Leopard

iLife 07

Its going to be a big year for Macs for me.

 

[skunk]

Probably a large apartment building.

 

[miniConvert]

I'm needing a couple of things:
A MacBook Pro of some sort, I'm not happy with the current offering.
New Adobe Web Bundle, lovely Intel Mac's just aren't so lovely running things under Rosetta.
New Microsoft Office suite, the current Mac version of Excel is especially groggy - and old.
10x Leopard

Already on the way:
4 more 20" iMacs

And an iPhone, naturally!

There is one thing I plan on buying and that's the new Airport Extreme station. I really need wireless for my place at school and it'll be a good way to have access to my external hard drive wirelessly. Unless there is a significant drop in ram prices, that's all I'll get.

 

[vendettabass]

1. a 1920x1200 display (depends if Apple update the resolution on their 20')
2. Apple Mouse, Keyboard (in the post)
3. Leopard & iLife
4. Office 2008
5. Photoshop Elements 5
6. 2GB RAM update when Leopard's out
7. Some Edirol Monitors

 

[bergmef]

leopard
itv

like to replace my 27 inch crt tv

I want the iphone, but cingular is horrible in the Baltimore area. Maybe an unlocked one for verizon?!?

I would love a 4 disk NAS by apple (I have a dns-323 and it's ungodly slow in finder, too many mp3's)

 

[bartelby]

Stuff all!

I'm not paid enough!


What I'd realistically like to buy:

Leopard (Family pack)
Airport Express
Airport BaseStation
iPhone
Upgrade Photoshop

 

[FleurDuMal]

iPod Nano (buying today actually)
Nintendo DS Lite (not Apple, but I just wanted to say)
Aperture
Photoshop CS3/Elements
iMac...if the next update looks good (and coincides with a time when I have some money )
Office 2008 (or iWork 07 if it includes a spreadsheet app)
A cheeseburger

 

[R.Youden]

A cheeseburger

Just one ot last the whole year?

 

[seh80]

iLife '07
2 gig ram kit for my iMac
an older iBook for my mother (she just wants email and internet)
Leopard
iSight for my ibook if they ever come back

 

[FleurDuMal]

Just one ot last the whole year?

Inflation has hit me hard this year

 

[tyr2]

Leopard.
Some fancy new as yet unanounced product perhaps.
Probably yet more storage, both internal and external.

And some games for XP/BootCamp i expect.

 

[Ish]

car (on order) — forced on me by recent death of previous one
Leopard
iWork (skipped over the last one)

Would be nice to upgrade to …
MacBook Pro
8GB black Nano

 

[kerpow]

Probable - almost definite, just got to persuade the mrs.

20" iMac when Leopard comes out. Probably a refurb.

Possible

Airport Extreme - better range sounds appealing, plus printer/hard drive support.
iPhone - if rev. b has 3G.

Oh, and a house. That will safely put me in cronic debt for the next 25+ years.

 

[Queso]

I could do with a new suitcase I suppose...

 

[2ndPath]

1. a 1920x1200 display (depends if Apple update the resolution on their 20')

Wow, they have a 20' display? 1920x1200 is really a bit too little for this size.

 

[iW00t]

Juiced up Mac Mini
Refurbished 15" Santa Rosa MBP
Airport Extreme
Full screen vPod

 

[elppa]

Leopard.

That's all I'm sure on at the moment.

Things I am interested in:

A digital camera (I have a great canon which I brought 4 years ago. I takes great photos and is very compact, but it is only 3MP.
Adobe CS 3. Really I want Photoshop (I have CS1, but skipped CS2 as I have an Intel Mac). I'd also like to get Fireworks and Illustrator, but it all depends on the bundles / pricing.
More RAM (512MB is adequate, but not really satisfactory on my MacBook. I don't have a spare £211 pound lying around at the moment to take it up to 2GB).


What I have purchased:

[0] An iSee case for my 1st generation Nano — £19.95
[1] 2x 1GB RAM for my MacBook — £123.94 inc. shipping

Total: £143.89

 

[dalvin200]

i'd like to start off with a 40" sony bravia and a surround kit as well as skyHD..

also buying a 2nd hand car to commute to new job..

trying to save for new house!! which never happens

doubt i'll have any money leftover, but i'd also like to see how much difference leopard will have to my everyday productivity.. and hopefully upgrade..

Wow, they have a 20' display? 1920x1200 is really a bit too little for this size.

well apples 20' ACD is only 1680x1050 at the moment but I want to make the most of my Macbook and get a 1920x1200 display... I dont see why the next generation ACD's can't have such a resolution in a 20', seen as there are 17" laptops with 1920x1200 resolutions nowadays!

I guess I could get the 23" ACD but I'd kick myself if they launch a 20" with the same resolution ....

 

[Queso]

OK, I'll answer this one seriously. Nothing before April because all my income is earmarked until then, but from May onwards I'll probably get Leopard, iLife '07, and some more RAM for my PowerBook to take it to 1152MB.

Computer wise, nothing else unless something breaks. Quite happy with the setup I've got.

 

[sunfast]

Leopard

iLife 07

Office 2008

Would love iPhone and Apple tv but won't have sufficient magic beans this year.

 

[petvas]

iPhone

apart from iPhone:

Apple TV (already on order)
Airport Express (already on order)
Leopard Family Pack
iWork 07 (Maybe)
iLife should be included in Leopard

 

[mduser63]

Apple TV (already ordered)
Leopard
Macbook (if I have the money when an update hits)
Adobe CS3
Maybe an iPhone

Besides the inevitable peripherals, I think that's probably about it, but who knows what new things Apple will announce over the next 11.5 months.
