Apple Store Reopens With Many New Products

Posted by timothy on from the such-a-world-of-bounty dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After being down for a couple of hours, the Apple store reopened this morning. All of the speculation has turned out to be a reality with Apple dishing out many new products and among them are; iMac 20", three iMac 24" models, two Mac Mini models, and two Mac Pro models — with one including an ATI Radeon HD 4570 graphics card. Also as rumored, there was the new Airport Extreme, and Time Capsule in 1TB. The Mac Pro is the granddaddy of them all. The lower-end Quad Core system includes a 2.66Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 3GB of memory, 640GB hard drive, 18x double-layer Superdrive, and a NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 with 512MB of memory priced at $2,499. Finally, we have the 8-core system which includes two 2.26Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, 6GB of memory, 640GB hard drive, the 18x double-layer Superdrive, and of course the NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 with 512MB of memory priced at $3,299."

    Yet another whiny mac fanboi. This is getting old...

    Macs use the same cheap ass components as dell or hp and are made in china in the same cheap ass factories. The only reason Apple overprices them is to gouge consumers. It comes to them quite naturally since they keep doing it on all their products.

    Also the "One Button Crap" is a very valid criticism. Just because he doesnt like it doesnt make him a neanderthal or the fact that you happily dance like a little bitch whenever jobs points a 'gesture' at you doesn't make you a fanboi.. oh no wait.. it does.

    Step out in the real world sometime.. it can be fun.

    You think it's perfectly OK to pay a premium for an "upgradable" system that is not actually upgradeable?

    Graphic designers = Apple's bitchboys

    While I agree that it's a big gap (I've always hated iMacs, mainly because my monitors tend to have a much longer lifespan than the rest of the computer), who is an expandable mid-ranged desktop targeted at?

    Geeks and gamers.

    And anyone who cares about money. The problem with the iMac isn't that a built-in display inherently sucks, it's that it's *far* more expensive than a tower+display.
