Now I know Apple isn't Dell and Apple quality is MUCH better. But it is still $600 more than the Dell it pales in comparison in overall performance. It costs $1928 and is a great deal - IF I needed a monitor, and airport, and bluetooth.

While this system does have two processors, for most common tasks it still would be slower than a Mac that had a 2.4ghz Conroe, and has a much weaker video card.Įven the iMac (had to use 20" to get the specs even close) Again this is a fantastic machine, but I don't want to and shouldn't have to spend $2500 to get a decent expandable headless machine. Is TWICE the price ($2499 by taking the processors down to 2Ghz but that savings gets canceled by upping the memory to 2gb) of the Mac mini at the closest config I can get. # NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (single-link DVI/dual-link DVI) Which comes to $1249 is isn't even close to the the Dell in terms of performance/power. The Mini is a fantastic little machine, but is not powerful or expandable enough. and that is without the usually Dell discounts you can get. Is that really too much to ask for? And, please, if you're too much of an elitist snob "well I use my Mac as tool only, and you're just hoypaloy", don't even bother replying.Īs I wrote elsewhere - It ticks me off that Dell can offer a mid-tower system with the following specs:įor ~$1300 and Apple doesn't even have anything CLOSE to those specs for that price.

I have a custom built PC for gaming and tinkering, but what I really want is a single computer that can do it all, with OS X as the main OS and with Linux and Windows running perhaps in a VM solution (but with full hardware acceleration.) I mostly use it for web browsing, email, and video watching, but I'd like to do more. I currently have a G4 Mini, but it's a tad sluggish for me. Perhaps they'd be a better value if they lowered them by $300-500, but I digress.įor me, I love Macs and OS X. They've strayed too far from the concept of the original iMac. So what if it "ate into iMac sales"? The flat panel iMacs are beautiful, and I like them, but let's be honest, they're too expensive and almost completely unupgradeable. This would also have the advantage of being cheaper than the current machine, and they'd be able to sell a lot more desktop Macs. The dual Xeon would be the top end machine, and the basic box would have a Conroe and DDR2. Steve-o could have easily come out with 2 configurations. Even though both the G5 and Core Duo chips are dual core.

The only reason I can see that Steve-o unveiled the Pro as-it-is is because the previous desktops, Power Mac G4 and G5, had dual-processors, so somehow not coming out with a dual proc box would seem like a downgrade. The FB-DIMMs are more expensive and more latent than regular DDR2 they may be perfect for server applications and perhaps scientific applications too, but for general desktop usage they're completely inappropriate if you ask me.

Now, I've only tinkered with the "productive" applications, so I'm not a "pro".īut the Mac Pro uses server-class hardware! I, for one, have no use for dual Xeons and fully buffered memory. I've been a Mac user since '94, coming from the Amiga world. I'm also a bit of a gamer, and a tinkerer.

Well, that's not just a little bit condescending, isn't it?
