I'm trying to choose between a new stock-configured Dual GHz from Apple and a 3-month-old QS which includes a 3-yr. AppleCare plan (minus 3 mos.), a gig of ram, a SuperDrive, and an external 40-gig Maxtor FW drive--each one for the approximate same price ($2350). In other words, at the educator's price, I can get the new one at about the same price as the used one w/extras. On the other hand, the used one's AppleCare will not cover the 17" Apple LCD Display I'll be buying later w/out a rebate; whereas, Apple's currently offering a $200 rebate when customers buy the cpu and display together.
Because benchtests reveal little difference in performance between these two models, and some posters have even complained about noise problems and little gain in overall speed in the current line, I'm wondering which will offer the best bang for the buck. I'll eventually be using FCP3 burning DVDs on whatever I get, but I'm unsure of the difference between them. I've seen that everymac.com lists the street value of the QS Feb 2002 dual GHz as worth a few hundred more than the current stock-configured dual GHz, and that these were going fast in August when smalldog and others had a few still in stock. Moreover, the used one also offers the extra warranty.
As an educator, am I better off w/one of the new ones and buying an Apple monitor at the same time, or going w/the "older" model and buying a monitor later w/out the AppleCare plan or rebate?
I could really use some input, especially since there's few reviews available on the new models, and I'm unsure how big of a difference there is between the 167MHz bus speed and the older 133, or the type of RAM each uses. The extra expansion bays are not really necessary in my work, either.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Rick

Hopefully they will release Iphone 5 this fall. My 3gs is getting slow but it still works, could be the software but the overall design needs a refreshment.
I refuse to buy the Iphone 4 because it's about a year old now, to buy an Iphone 4 now is just plain stupid.

Hi, I just got my first apple product (a macbook pro) a few days ago. I bought XCode 4 from the appstore, installed it and created a new OpenGL ES project.
After a few frames of running with no code modifications from me, the program crashed with LLVM ERROR: Cannot yet select...
So, after trying various things, the project crashes in the same way regardless of the XCode version (tried XCode 3 also) and regardless of the iPhone or iPad version.
I don't have access to the developer forums because I didn't pay the $99 to be a paid developer.
Does anybody have any ideas on what I should try next?
Thanks!

Good god, are you seriously suggesting that if you don't need a 2560 x 1600 resolution you don't need a computer? Hahaha... just quit while you're behind, man.
If you're just using it for movies, music and browsing. Does it make sense?

Re: Yeah and Disney is shut down the service after 8 months with little or no interest in the service. And is going to cost them $30 million to shut it down and as Disney and Apple sharehold it think it is a bad business model to be in.
Yeah, this is like saying selling legal music downloads is bad since Wal-Mart has not been as successful as Apple.
Granted, I would most likely never purchase a Disney phone. However, I would certainly consider purchasing an Apple phone. Apple knows as well as its user base than an Apple phone has to work and have cool features either not available elsewhere or features that "just work." Google has been built on the Apple model of simple is better. Powerful features are available, but not placed front and center as akward apps made by less successful companies.

I'm going to be in Seattle on holidays from Canada during the launch and plan to be there to get the 3G iPad. With the 5pm launch time, I'm just trying to figure out what time to show up.
i know...im really unsure of what to expect considering wifi release, presales, etc. so i'll likely spend most of my mid afternoon around shopping and keeping a close eye. plenty of things around.

Fivepoint, I do wish you would stop it with the sensational and inaccurate threads. If not for our sake, yours. They are intentionally designed to bait and inflame.

Nope, vniow, I can't load it in Opera, Firefox, Camino, IE6 or 7. Only Safari. On Windows I had to download the file and open it in GIMP.
EDIT: OK. Loading it with Quicktime's Picture Viewer on Windows works. Strange. :)

Yeah, bootcamp's designed to only boot in one or the other. That's why Bootcamp is better at gaming than virtualization software. Windows doesn't have to share resources with OSX.
That being said, you can run virtualization software to run both at the same time. If you're stuck on a budget, Virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) is a free, smallish download. I don't have a copy Windows to try it myself yet but I believe with some work, you can get VirtualBox working with a Bootcamp partition (http://phaq.phunsites.net/2011/03/05/sharing-windows-7-between-boot-camp-and-virtualbox/)so you can switch between the two methods, pendent on whether you need performance or multi-os functionality. Hope it helps.

I can only be too happy to see a system that limits my freedom to do what I want with the things that I buy falls by the wayside. I applaud those who contribute to my freedom!
Yes, I have heard that I can choose not to buy. And I have done exactly that for the reason above!
(Even though I have two apples and an ipod).
It's really not my problem if the iTune store suffers, it should!!!

Did you miss this from the article???
"The 3G network will be complemented by UMA, which lets phone calls transition between cellular and Wi-Fi to enhance indoor coverage. But we'll only see "market trials" of UMA this year, according to Dotson"
Last time I heard 'Market Trial' was ITMS on a Mac.......

Actually, the big display prices *must* come down soon, because regular 32" tv can be bought for 500 euros nowadays. A display which has HDMI input, which means it can be connected to a DVI computer card rather easily.
Now I don't mean to say that a regular 32" TV that costs 500 would compete with a 30" ACD in terms of colour accuracy or top resolution, but I'm saying if someone wants a big display it can be done for peanuts. And as people discover this they're not going to buy "overpriced" computer displays that are meant for one purpose only.
No HDTV competes with the resolution of a 30" COMPUTER monitor...
Apples and oranges, man.

I notice that the fingers in the diagram look small. A little research shows the average male index finger dip joint (last joint at the finger) is about 1cm long. Doing some quick calculations, assuming ANYTHING in the diagram is to scale, the device seems to be about 7" tall. The current Ipod is 4.1" tall. Also, the diagram shows the ability to add to playlist, which leads me to believe it is more than an ipod... perhaps I am completely wrong, of course

Not surprising with the price and 11.6" model. The MBA would sit mostly untouched at the Apple store. Now people are constantly using them especially the 11.6" model.

Thx man. Is there a special with printer?
Apple salesperson never mentioned it. She did say, "you don't want the better graphics card for extra $100?" I said, "will it help with Photoshop" she said "no mainly for games." I just got the stock model since I don't play games otherwise it'd be online order.
You'll love the 27", IPS screen is amazing. Also speakers are really good, I was very surprised.
its basically you pay a 100 bucks for the printer and then you fill the rebate form and they send u a check for a 100 bucks, no biggie honestly.
I wont take the better graphic card for a 100 bucks either, specially since ill have to do an online order and they wont be available at the store, much rather have it now and enjoy it ;)

I have a Sony handheld cam that has 5.1 built in sound recording, and although its nothing revolutionary it does sound nice and pick up sounds quite good. The mics for rear channels are on the back, the front are on the front.

I think they may be holding off on the cinema displays until later this year when they update the MacPro to the new Nehalem processor. The new Mac Pros may even sport the new look we've all been speculating and the new displays will carry a built-in iSight.
Who knows what the reason is..
