[Dukkha]

I LOVE it! the whole computer inside the monitor!

I may have to sell my big G4 workstation now.

1. And this is in General Discussion because...

:shrug:

Oh, what's so original about cramming laptop-size components into a LCD monitor?

2. My first impression...

If you bump it...it will fall over.
Other than that I like it.

4. Where's my cat gonna sit?

She likes to sleep on top of the monitor.

Guess it ain't happening here.

I'd hate to repair the thing. At least desktops are easy to take apart and fix.

5. where do you add upgrade equipment?

oh that's right, with a MAC they make it so easy that you simply throw it away and buy a new one!

6. it has almost everything the average home user would need

10/100 ethernet, usb, firewire, cd burner. up to 2GB ram capacity, and wireless networking slot. theres the powermac for people who need extra video and sound cards (usually professionals who spend what they need to in order to get the proper equipment)

8. I'm glad Mac has no good games.

As often as I upgrade my processor to compensate for newer and needier games, I'd be broke before I paid for the first Mac replacementupgrade, noting that it can't be replaced. :eyes:

For all other 'average home' users, I've no argument with that new Mac. Except price, but what else is new.

7. Do I detect a bit of jealousy?

Not to worry though, itÕs an easy OS to master.
