Well in bike terms its kind of like XTR, with the exception that this kit really does make you go faster.

15% plus apple care for not very much.

+ £130 rebate on any ipod at the moment
Junkyard - it's just a very powerful, stylish and pleasant to use computer. If you are nerdy but with pretentions of being cool as well then it's quite exciting.

You also save a huge amount of money on Apple software with the student discount too.

AND ITS GOT A **** 27" SCREEN!!!!! THAT'S THE SAME SIZE AS MY TELLY!!!!!!
Posted 1 year ago # -
how much did it cost grum?
Posted 1 year ago # -
27" is very nice. Huge screen!
I nearly bought one last month but ended up building a PC from scratch instead.
p/s: crikey with a i5/i7 plus SSD ... that's way over £2k!!
Posted 1 year ago # -
About 15% less than the prices on the Apple website.
(OK fine it cost £1500)

love mine - only had the cash for the entry level 27" when they first came out, but it's still plenty quick enough
Posted 1 year ago # -
I've been looking at those for ages...
where do you live?

Isn't it more like a Jones spaceframe in bike terms? As in expensive but people that have bought into it rave about the benefits whilst the other 90% of people are happy enough with their faster/cheaper alternative?Posted 1 year ago # -
Im very tempted for the 27" iMac if my money comes through.
Dont play games anymore just do photostuff.Posted 1 year ago # -

No it doesn't!
You can't read STW any quicker
You can't write a document any quicker
You can't touch up photos any quicker..It may take slightly less time to open a doc or something but that's a tiny proportion of the time you actually spend on a computer...
For £1500 I could get a seriously kick-ass PC too

I think if you're going to sit in front of something and use it all day, it might as well be aesthetically pleasing. Plus, in incorporates everything you need, in one simple box. The nicest OS to use, and minimum faffage. And in my experience, Apple hardware tends to outlast PC equivalents, not least in terms of how long keep plodding away. I have a 10-year old iMac that still works fine.
That one above has a beautiful screen. The quality is stunning. A separate screen of that quality would set you back loads, before you even bought the computer. Buying separate components of that quality would cost more, not look as good, and have to run Windoze.

Of course. It wouldn't be as nice as that though.

Not telling!

Erm... you can touch up photos quicker than the 3 year old Macbook Pro I am using at the mo - it will also process video import/editing quicker, run more plugins on Ableton Live and Logic, etc etc
If I was just doing email and word processing I wouldn't have bothered getting such a fancy 'puter.
Yes you could get a very good PC for £1500 - but as said factor in the value of the screen and the superb Apple software you get bundled with it and you'll find the cost is very similar. Apple also consistently score very highly in reliability surveys, AND have extremely good resale value. And it wouldn't be anywhere near as nice to use or look at. So ner!

Debatable. But it could definitely do more

Holy cow. Just looked - 27" Iiyama LCD monitor = £250 on scan.co.uk!
That is cheap.

Define 'do more'. Play the latest games at the very highest frame rates/settings? Who cares. Or did you just mean get more viruses?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Define 'more'.
My Mac does Photoshoppery, Illustrator and graphic stuff, video, music, internets, boring Office stuff, photos, Skype, Remote Desktop, DVD authoring, Web Design, calendar and organising and all that, email, games and much more. It could do 3-D and scientific stuff if I wanted it to. Oh and I can look at pictures of naked ladies and videos of dancing cats on it.
What more would I want?

In bike terms it's just like having XTR, but you have to move to Norfolk.

grum
You won't be disappointed - I bought a 21" IMac about two months ago - super stuff -

Hex core 3.2GHz 64 bit cpu, 12Gb ram
