I was going to start a similar thread but theres a high risk of fail.

Surely America will be first?

*edit*

Uk store down..

 

[sneeks]

Yeah it'll probably all be for a new mighty mouse

 

[Ian]

Hope it brings the macbooks into my price range, fed up with pcs!

Can I dash your hopes? Today is apparently all about the desktops.

 

[Ian]

Tbh I wouldn't mind one.. like the bigger screens.

 

[The Boosh!]

Macs FTW

 

[Jon.G]

Argh, id forgotten about MACs, now you've just reminded me that I need one

 

[sneeks]

If they do release updated versions then today is the perfect time to buy one.

 

[Ian]

How so sneeks? Lower prices?

 

[cava83]

mac mini, awesome, dual screens is all I need, bastardos.

Would be interesting to see what the mac pro's are like, apparently, there is no mention regarding the 8 core configurations.

 

[Jon.G]

8core... omg! un-nesscercary power for a mac.

 

[sneeks]

How so sneeks? Lower prices?

No because lots of people are always holding off buying one just incase a update is suddenly released. Buying now will guarantee you'll get at least a year from your Mac before it's out of date. Hopefully the prices will also fall slightly but most other electrical items have increased in price in the UK due to the crap £ so I'd not count on that.

Looking on the US store it looks like the entry level Mini will increase by $100

 

[cava83]

surely you mean un-necessary for some users??!

A mac pro is not ideal for a user who just browses the web, however a video editor would benefit from that model better than say a mac mini.

Yeah everything costs more than it did yesterday but that was expected.

I've just ordered a Logitech VX Nano laser mouse to replace my crap wireless mighty mouse. After 2 years I decided I really should replace it.
