blessingx Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Well, you have to give them credit for the innovative "Guru Bar" concept.
TheSloth Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 aluminum is spiffier than plastic They are both aluminium - that's my guess anyway. There's no way they can do the unibody process with polycarbonate. They are just coating it with shiny whiteness.
grawk Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Right but they hide the spiffy aluminum in cheesey white plastic
Sherwood Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 I think he's just dark skinned, Larry. Ohhhhhhhhhhh, you mean her.
The Monkey Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 I like the corporate overlords at the back of the line keeping on eye on who's cheering. And who's not.
Hopstretch Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 Heh. The old "I'm a PC, I'm a Mac" ads have been tired for a while, but they've come up with just the right one-two combo for the Windows 7 launch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiU1Gu14xG0
The Monkey Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Pretty good. Disparaging, though, which is always risky in competitive advertising.
Hopstretch Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 Heat sinks on the new iMacs.
Hopstretch Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 The full teardown is here. Good news is that, as long as you're willing to swallow hard and pull that glass front off, swapping out the hard drive looks trivial compared to the current generation.

Hopstretch Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 mac needs to change his wardrobe Tell it to Steve Jobs.
morphsci Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Also, new imac is fucking sexy But not Steve's wardrobe.

ojnihs Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 i've been a safari guy since day 1, but i'll take a look at chrome. i really don't like firefox for mac.
The Monkey Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks, Ric. I just downloaded it. I have given up on FF for the time being.
Currawong Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Fuck it, I'm getting a Core i7 27". My MacBook Pro is now 3 years old and 3GB of RAM just doesn't cut it.
Hopstretch Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 Hell yeah! I played with the new 3.06 C2D the other day and that was pretty snappy with 4GB of RAM. Put 8GB in the i7 machine and go to town. Will say that you'll probably want a fair bit of wall clearance behind the screen for air circulation, as the Apple Store iMacs were pumping out the heat pretty impressively. The whole aluminium back panel seems to act as a big radiator.
