Re: Today's Event Poll I'd rather they have kept the iMac fatter, put real horsepower in it and dropped the price. |

This is what's puzzled me as well.. What's the point of keeping it this ridiculously thin around the edges, only to have a fat bump in the back? Even if you hang it on a wall using a wallmount, it still sticks out...
And to only get a hardon on how thin the edges are? Sheesh...
21.5" base model iMac appears to be gimped with a 2.5" 5400rpm drive with non user upgradeable ram, so that thing will be slow due to the slow drive...
If it was 3.5" drive they would never have said it's 5400rpm, as that'd be stupid to put in a 3.5" "green" drive...

iPad Mini, no retna, no want.
Mac Mini, decent upgrade. Stupid design with SD card reader on the back. And USB on the back. And FW on the back. Regardless, I will probably get one of these to replace my old Mini (2006ish model).

They really did go overboard with the thin comments didn't they. Odd. I don't get it. I guess their market research tells them thin will make these sell by the truckload.

I'm really waiting on the iFixit report how utterly hard it will be to open them and replace anything...
For the price they demand for these things, they sure are underpowered...

I think Apple wants it that way. They want to sell you an appliance that you cannot upgrade and replace when you need more.

The mini still has a sharp screen. The DPI isn't retina but I imagine the cost of the retina screen simply makes it impractical for apple to make presently. Maybe iPad mini 2nd gen will get that feature. Plus an A6...  |
