New iBook and Apple mini

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the meet-the-new-box dept.

shintaro writes "ThinkSecret reports that 'Apple delivers iBook, Mac mini updates July 26 - Apple updated its iBook and Mac mini lines Tuesday, increasing standard RAM across the board to 512MB and improving other specs. Missing from the iBook update was the long-rumored move to a widescreen model which unconfirmed reports had suggested might arrive with the revision.' "

    Apple has really come a long way when the best snipe a PC partisan has got is "the equivalent Windows PC costs the same", rather than "costs half as much". Now Apple only has to work on the "equivalent" part - which is almost entirely perception. With the best brand recognition in the world, Apple probably already has that beat, except among Windows diehards.

    Apple's core home-user base only really use the built-in apps and things like MS Office, all of which will be available for years on PPC. It's not like a Windows machne where the ending of support leaves you virus-prone and vulnerable.

    Yeah, because Microsoft isn't releasing updates for old operating systems like Windows 2000. Oh wait, they still are. Can you even get updates for anything Apple older than OSX 10.2? (which was released about 3 years ago)

    Wow, 512MB across the board... Just like the computer I bought years ago for a fraction of hte price of a Mac Mini. Excuse me if I'm not impressed by marketing and hype, but actually want a computer that's value for money. And I don't even have a modem to get on the Internet? What great value.

    Maybe Apple might get some more marketshare and increase their profits if they came into the real world for once.
