What are you buying in 2007?

iLife 07
iPhone
iPod Nano 8GB (I have a 5th Gen. 30 gb, and I switched it with my sisters new Nano 2 Gb, I find nanos to be a lot more useful to me than their bigger brothers)
A kick *ss stereo system with B&W floorstands(I know, I know but I wanted to write)
Mozart Complete Edition from Philips, Decca and Deutsche Grammaphon(What did you think I wanted that stereo system for 🙂

That's all 🙂 God, these will cost a lot 😀

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 think the comedy was intended to come from the fact that

20' = 20 feet
20" = 20 inches

🙂
 
iMac 24'' fully loaded (ordering in 15 days and counting)
Leopard (Apple, please release it in 14 days)
iLife '07
vPod (holding out on this until Apple releases the "touch screen" later this year 😎 )

wow.. u're really going for the Apple house 😛

good on ya!! 😀
 
Some people are in for a great year. What I find surprising is that not many people have listed an actual computer. Why is this? Is it:

  • You only buy a new computer when one breaks
  • You have a set time for buying computers (every three years or so)
  • You just buy one on a whim
  • You buy one when something a lot better or revolutionary comes out

I suppose I am a bit of all three. If I had the money I would get a MacPro but at the moment I will have to make do with my PowerMac.
 
Yes I'm going full Apple products this year and I plan on selling my hyped up PC after I get my iMac for a very very cheap price (just so I can get some money out of it) and try to buy more apple products with that money.
😀

Computers are so 2006. Apple has even rid of the "Computer" from its own name. That's how out of style they (computers) are 🙂

I guess people didn't list computers so much since they don't really know release dates/availability of alot of pending products from Apple. I guess when dates are released, people might consider a 2k$ computer purchase. Until then, its light/moderate spending 🙂
 
I'm in the process of building a home so I will be signing (or singing haha) the mortgage on that sometime in June.

I am also looking to buy an HDTV LCD television.

Oh, and I bought a Wii on January 4th and may get an xbox 360 if I get my HDTV. That is all for now.
 
bought so far this year:

2007 Subaru WRX
a 2nd Airport express

coming later:
iMac G5 20" (for wall mounting in the kitchen)
2gig ram for said iMac
30" ACD for my MBP
iPhone (two)
Some canon L'series glass
more stuff for my home cinema 🙂

Will you get the iPhone is Aus in 2007?
 
Another 1GB stick
BT Mighty Mouse (maybe something else)
Leopard

and I think that's it for Mac/computer stuff for the year. I need to start putting money into photography again.
 
2007 is the year I make the switch to Mac (been ready for over a year now, just waiting on the funds). So, I will be getting:

17" MBP Santa Rosa
external HD
AirPort Extreme
sleeve and case for my MBP

Yay for no more old Dell desktop!
 
Msybe we should have a thread at the end of the year called —

“What I brought this year”

Where we can compare…
 
Hopefully people will come back and update their posts and see how everyone did. What they added or why they didn't get what they expected to...
 
Definitely:
Leopard
iLife '07
iWork '07

Probably:
New iMac or Mac Pro and Monitor (depending on cash flow)
New Camcorder
 
Leopard
iLife '07
iWork '07

Aperture 2.0
Adobe Creative Suite 3

New Canon DSLR
New Canon lenses

[looks around for lottery ticket]
 
Buying for sure:

iLife 07 single user or family (if my G4 is up to the specs for it)

Leopard same as above reason

Apple bluetooth keyboard

iPhone (8 GB model) Sold on it once i saw the expansion of images etc via fingers

more ram for the intel mini
 
Well I WAS going to possibly buy a 12" MBP . . .

Engagement Ring for the girly
Leopard
2 GB RAM for the iMac
Start saving for a new laptop
 
Mac Pro, once iLife 07 comes out.
Leopard, when it comes out
2 x 1 gb memory to add to Mac Pro

I'd like to see them update the Mac Pro line before I buy. If they offer an octo-core configuration, the prices for the quad core configurations will hopefully fall. And they need to offer another graphics card option (maybe nVidia 8800GTX?? 😀 😀 ) Hopefully from the number of problems they have had with the x1900 cards they will wise up and get rid of it!
 
-Adobe CS3
-Blackberry 8800
-external hard drive
-possibly a nano if i start taking the train to a new job
-week in seattle/vancouver for a wedding + vacation for me and my girlfriend
-large amount of design books
-some random things i do not really need
