  3. The lack of good head less desktop and a $1500 lap on What Bugs Apple Fans About Apple · · Score: 0

    The lack of good head less desktop and a $1500 laptop that has intel on board video.

    The mini is over priced and under powered.

    The imacs are AIO with weak video cards for gameing and the screens are not meant for pro work.

    The mac pro is nice but starting at $2300 is high to get a desktop with a real video card.

    The older ppc macs started at the $1500 price level.

    Why can't there be a desktop with DESKTOP hardware not laptop hardware as with the imac and mac mini for $600 - $1900?

    you can replace the mini with this give on board video and a pci-e slots to keep costs down or just put a low end video in the low end system.

    With good video cards maybe even SLI / CrossFire with 2 - 4+ gb of ram with a good choice of cpus you can have a nice mid-range pro system and good gameing system.

    The mac pro is meant for high level pro work that replaced the older PPC macs that coasted $500 less.

    you can keep the mini but push the price down to $500 and give a dvd/rw drive.

    better idea

    There needs to be a common update system that is easy for games and other apps to use and is free for developers to use.

    Then you can at lest get rid of having to deal with games and other apps having there own built in updater's that need admin just to run them as some games and apps force you to get the updates to be able to run them.

    This system can also make it easy to keep your all parts of your system up to date. You will just need to be an admin to run that common update system or even make it so you can have it setup to auto run in the back round at system level.

    Also MS needs to let get the all of the updates form windows update using auto update.

    Runas does not fully work for windows update in windows xp and 2000 and you need to run that to get the Optional updates in the past runas did not let the windows update web page run at all.

    What is the point of installing any PCI-e graphics card when the system costs $2300 to start and there is lack video cards with drivers for mac os / ones with EFI roms in them.

    The point is there have NO good $600 - $1000 desktop the mini at $600 to $800 is very over priced for it's hardware and gma 950 sucks at games + only coming 1gb of ram and slow laptop hd makes for a very poor gameing system. also they have no $1000 - $2000 desktop as well. The Imacs do not fit in with what a alot of games want in a desktop system and there weak video cards do not help.

    We need a good mac desktop for gameing to be a big thing on mac osx.

    a $2300 system with a 2600xt is not cutting it.

    you can add a 8800 gt for $200 more but $2500 for a 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon system with 2gb of 800MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM and only a 8800 gt and only a 320GB hd.

    looks real bad to next to other gameing system at that price that have a desktop cpu 4gb of ram, raid, XFI sound card, and SLI and there good gameing systems that you can get for $1500 - $2000 with better video cards, faster cpus, more ram, more hdd space, good sounds cards and more.

    The mini has a carp video for gameing.

    the imacs have a video card is slower at gameing then the older one where.

    The rest of the imac hardware is ok it just needs a better video card.

    also a $7000 - $1500 desktop with good video card is needed.

    apple why the lack of updates for you other hardware?

    like the lack of a macbook pro update, macbook, imca, adc, and mini updates?

    The mini is 161 days old and that was just a core 2 cpu drop in update it still has the real old gma 950 video and only 1gb of ram at the same price point.

    The imacs are 161 days old as well and they have a weaker video card then the older a bigger imac before them.

    The macbook pro is 224 days old.

    also where is the xmac?

    the mac pro starts at $2700 now but you can cut $500 by going down to 1 cpu.

    $2200 for 1 quad core with 2gb of ram and ati 2600xt is better then the older mac pro but what about people who need a good desktop at $600+ and $1000 - $2000?

    The Imac screen is not good for pro work and the mini is over priced and underpowered for it as well.
