128GB SSD for $1699!?

I'll take the 15", please. Oh wait...

Seriously, I expected 256GB. Apple is getting supremely greedy.

Yeah, they can keep it. I've got a 500gb HDD in my old MacBook and I definitely use more than 128gb with all my media files, video editing, and dual booting Windows. A sharper screen isn't worth $500 more.

I'll probably end up getting a PC laptop next time around, though my circa 2008 MacBook is still holding okay. Wonder what's a good Hackintosh-able laptop.

Mac mini - Still 4GB/500 GB, but i5 and new ports.

$599

Now iMac time.

The new iMac looks sci-fi levels of sexy.

 

[JackBurton]

Holy crap, the new iMac looks amazing!!

 

[JackBurton]

Each display calibrated. Awesome!!!

 

[jalaram]

Fusion Drive = Flash + HDD. Seagate Momentus XT?

 

[TuxDave]

I swear with these announcements, I somehow turned from "I'm a gamer so I can't switch to Mac" to "Dammit, I wish I didn't play games. Then I could switch to a Mac!"

$1299? /want

That has actually been true for years. Though they may be doing more serious calibrating, or just finally using it as a selling point.

Fusion Drive = Flash + HDD. Seagate Momentus XT?

Similar, but it looks like there is OS level stuff happening that keeps it all straight. The Momentus is about having an SSD cache, this is about automating what many of us with SSDs and HDDs do already.

so a new Seagate recall in a year?

I'm curious, a 3.5" SATA drive actually fits into that chassis??

That's what I was thinking.

 

[jalaram]

iPad time. Which comes first? Mini or updated Maxi.

Maybe a mix of 1.8" and mSATA to make a tiny combo?

Naw, just the Max (or MAXX??), otherwise you have a maxiipad, and what's that?

Looking at the picture, yes a full size 3.5" SATA fits in there, the new iMac has a slim edge, but a bubble butt. That plus the blade SSD.

 

[Aikouka]

Talking about the 4th generation iPad? WTFBBQ!?

 

[jalaram]

4th gen iPad!!!!

A6X!!!!

 

[Aikouka]

A6X!!!!

Fixed!!

EDIT:

Haha, a stealth edit on your part.

 

[JackBurton]

Holy crap, 4th gen iPad with A6X!!

 

[TheStu]

OMG, iPad 4! With A6X!

(didn't want to combo break)

 

[mmntech]

Less than a year after the third gen came out. Not too happy with that.

 

[TuxDave]

Talking about the 4th generation iPad? WTFBBQ!?

I know, that's surprising. Too bad I didn't get to hear any specs on the weight and thickness.

Oh, it's Mini time!

 

[jalaram]

Fixed!!

EDIT:

Haha, a stealth edit on your part.

I knew someone would catch me on that.

Here comes the mini too.

 

[Aikouka]

Well, it makes more sense to change the release to around Christmas time. Why annoy people having them buy an iPad for Christmas to see it outdated in 3 months?

 

[ManBearPig]

Didn't they just release the new iPad? Everyone who recently bought the new iPad got screwed.

 

[Pheran]

Wow, I didn't expect them to overhaul the entire iPad line so soon. I feel kind of sorry for anyone who bought the iPad 3, that didn't last long.

 

[JackBurton]

It looks like I will be dumping a lot of money at the Apple store soon.
