My dream Mac

Here it is

  • 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  • 2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM – 2×1GB
  • 250GB Serial ATA Drive
  • NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB SDRAM
  • Apple Wireless Keyboard & Wireless Mighty Mouse + Mac OS X
  • 24-inch widescreen LCD
  • 2GHz Intel Core Duo
  • AirPort Extreme
  • Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR

The only problem is cost… $3500 dollars but ironically if you add in the cost of the 24″ screen and the mac os x with all its value then I start to think maybe it is not that expensive. If you were to buy the monitor seperatley from apple $1599 or from dell $1299-1499 (depending on internet deal) so there is a significant cost on its own.

The only downside is that you couldnt get a ati 1900xt or a nvidia 7950gt, while the 7600gt is still a great card excellent middle of the road it just seems a little odd.

Well I have been waiting in vein for the last couple of days (a bit unreasonable time frame some might say) for itunes to come out with 7.0.1 to fix some of the significant problems. I have had no problems with sound quality or speed of the coverflow design. I have had significant problems with running a game and itunes simultaneously something that i could easily do under the previous version of itunes.

One important thing is that i have not had any problems running itunes with my macbook it runs effortlessly and seamlessly as it did previously, i have always found itunes under windows to be very sluggish. No doubt apple spend substantial amounts of money on the development of itunes but as yet they seem to struggle with cross platform portability.

For ipod users;
