Apple has a new computer www.apple.com/emac |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

yeah...the eMac (original Name NOT!!!)... but yeah, they look like cool machines...I like MACS (even if they aren't the easy-to-use computer that everyone thinks...not a huge amount of diff between XP & OSX in day2day use, I find...) |

Windows and MacOS have become very similar, thanks to Micro$oft nicking all the good ideas Apple had, so doing basic things on either computer doesn't really feel that different any more. It's just there are soooooooooooooo many nagging things about Windows which make me wanna cut the machine running it in half with a chainsaw. If I wasn't such a microsoftophobe I would have bought the computer at our local supermarket: P4 2GHz 256MB RAM G-Force 4 MX 80GB HD 24x CD-RW 16x DVD-ROM 4xUSB ports 3x Firewire ports and every other crappy PC port there is with a bunch of software as well. All for EUR1299 |

Playstations are for new games. Macs are for old games. See my mate Richard Bannister's homepage for emulators for tons of consoles: http://bannister.org/software/emu.htm |

yeah, I agree...if you wanna play games then get a games console... As for PCs n Macs... I find I get on a lot better with PCs but I guess that's only because I've been using em for so long...I have to do a lot of heavyweight stuff on computers and somehow I feel "closer to the metal" with a PC...again, it's an experience thing... But if I was doing 100% graphics or 100% music and had all my software bought for me, I'd probably prefer a Mac... |

eMac? when the hell did this thing get released...sheesh i need to keep up on the mac news. I'm glad they have a CRT-based all-in-one for the education markets. I had doubts that schools would fork over the money for an LCD panel for each of their computers. |

there was a rumor about a week ago of a new Mac with a 17" CRT (ie the eMac which was released today) and over at the appleinsider forums there were literally thousands of posts from people explaining why Apple would NEVER release such a machine. Kinda funny. The new PowerBooks like really nice too. |

new powerbooks? i'll have to take a look! |

They are beautiful machines... You gotta love the design & the thought of that huge res screen (1280 x 864) makes me slightly weak at the knees... But as some of designer mates have been saying "At last!! a machine fast enough to run OSX.."...the cynical bastards...;).. I'm glad Apple are out there and are still able to produce machines of this quality...the marketplace really benefits from Apple being so willing to push new stuff forward... |

That's cool that you can hook it up via DVI to the cinema display. That'd be such a sweet set up -- too bad I don't have $5000 to blow :) |

my Dad's got the last PowerBook that came out with 667MHz G4 and it runs OS X 10.1 like a dream. I'm still stuck on 9.2.2 cos I run a 233MHz iMac. |

i have an old blueberry iMac and i'm quite happy with it... i have always prefered Macs to PCs :) but this eMac looks like an iMac who'd have charged and crashed against a wall imo... weird design -_+ (i like weird things, but not all of them...) |

im a pc user, but i have to admit: i think macs really are better computers the operating systems is much better, imo and PCs, and windows, steal a lot of ideas from apple the problem is.... apples are SOOOOO over-priced! their desktops (the real ones, not the old imacs) START at like $2,250...... withOUT even a monitor and tech support!!!! and theres a big compatibility problem w/ games..... that sucks |
||||||||

yeah the desktops are expensive. But it's all one package remember, not loads of the cheapest components crammed into a box. But the PowerMacs could currently do with a kick up the backside. |

You really do get what you pay for -- The powermacs are designed and manufactured very well - but I do agree a slight decrease in the price would be welcome. |
