Store is down - New iMacs

[Turkish]

Any speculation on the cost of Lion? People seem to be suggesting it may be September before it appears and I can't see me waiting that long to replace my G5 unless Lion is costly enough for me to justify waiting.

To upgrade to Leopard was $99 I think. Snow Leopard was half that but then that wasn't a massive change. I'd say it will be about the same sort of price again.

And September is probably a pretty accurate guess. Certainly can't see it being before that.

 

[Turkish]

If it's only about £60 based on that I'll probably change toward then end of next month. Had it been £150+ then I'd have held off.

Quite glad the update wasn't a big one, only bought my 27" i7 in January. That said, even if it had been a major upgrade I couldn't have coped without my iMac for the past 4 months, using my tiny 13" MacBook screen is a chore.

I was sold on the idea when I saw the Magic Mouse, but have ended up using the Track Pad mostly

 

[Munson]

The trackpad in Apple's latest hardware really has revolutionised the way we interact with our computers TBH. Using Windows quickly becomes cumbersome. I'm thinking in terms of notebooks though, so that's not really in context. I think I would use a trackpad with an iMac instead of a mouse.

I might be getting an iMac in July when my bonus comes in. IF I do, I will defo get a trackpad instead of a mouse.

I have a Intuos4 tablet for use in photoshop, so precision stuff etc isn't a concern.

 

[Revels]

I didn't like the trackpad at all. It's awesome on the laptops but on a desk I prefer a mouse.

Also, with a trackpad, to move from bottom right to top left or something, you have to pick your finger up and press again. Obviously this doesn't apply if you're poor and bought the little screen.

So isn't the trackpad scaled to the monitor size like on the MBPs?

I assumed it's basically a MBP trackpad on its own.

 

[Revels]

Yeah, pretty much.

I don't remember seeing that option. I prefer the Magic Mouse anyways.

 

[Munson]

Personally I can't stand MM. Although I used it with an MBP so it felt a bit alien.

I just wish the magic mouse was a bit taller.

I find I get sore hands using it for any length of time.

This.

Mines lasted half an hour before I whipped out the old school 2 button HP mouse <3
