Apple day again.
Just realised it's Apple announcement time again 6pm.
iPad kind of mini, iMac refresh, Mac Mini refresh… more. Apple TV has been updated with a live feed for the event. |
Apple announcements seems to have gone a little stale since mr bad personal hygiene passed away.
|
If the ipad mini comes in at around £200 as most of the websites are saying I think I will be buying a couple for chrimbo :)
|
Likewise :)
|
|
Well they finally announced the new ipad and the 7.9" ipad mini, I wonder how that will affect the prices of the ipad 3 with a new one alrady being rolled out.
|
$329 for a 16GB Wi-Fi model
|
Then look at this...
http://www.booksnreview.com/articles...cut-to-199.htm Still the new imac looks interesting, and pretty thin, heat woes still worry, is that why its underclocked? BBC have the pricing up for the ipad mini (a little more than most expected but still under 300 quid) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20042738 Tony:) |
Anyone see the bit on the fusion drive, where 128gb flash and 1tb drive and uses the flash media like a cache. Looks brilliant
|
Have to say I wasn't expecting such updates to the full size iPad. the A6X will be a bit quick.
iPad mini is pretty much what everyone expected, price point is $329, would have liked to have seen it at $299, but it will likely sell an absolute fcuk ton. |
All good I'd say.
Time to jump on the upgrade train for me, my 06 iMac is still a thing of beauty but it's out of sync, boxed and better than new, it should fetch a few quid towards a new one. |
New Mac looks nice. :norty:
No optical drive. Not sure if this is a negative for me. Rarely use one I guess with most stuff downloadable now. Only thing I would see that I would miss would being able to transfer music from cd's or to store movies on the hard drive for use over apple tv. |
iMac looks very nice. Loving the combo physical/flash drive. Photoshop and Final Cut should run nicely on that.
So it's either that or a new Mac Mini. My 2008 Mac Mini is still going strong, but video editing is very slow. Choices, choices. :) iPad Mini doesn't do anything for me. Had a 7" tablet, was great, moved on now. I've an iPad2, so will wait for a proper iPad upgrade (4?) before moving again. Not interested in the 13" MacBook, but I'm never interested in net/note/laptops. iBooks announcement was also interesting. |

the iPad mini , nice but not for me. my ipad 2 is perfect for me
mac mini, nope my mac mini model does the job of being a media centre perfectly fine thank you. macbook pro 13 ", too small for my needs iMac. Now we are talking !! my 24" 2005 iMac is getting a bit long in the tooth and whilst the size is good, I think a 21" will do the trick. |

Of course it's not a new concept, but it is the first time the Hardware and OS have been integrated into an iMac and available with a tick in the box. |
Nice toys. I'm a little narked that I've JUST bought an Ipad 3, but thankfully, it's a work toy.
But hey ho, cant complain too much, as I've been struggling to find a real use for it :D (kind of the answer to a question nobody asked!) BUT the new iMac is worth investigating further :) |

I can't see how I'm going to get that in my iMac and does it come with Fusion software?

It really isn't a new concept at all, some Intel chipsets have had this capability for quite some time. Stick in a big mechanical HDD and small FLASH drive, configure it in the BIOS, and to the operating system it looks like a single hard drive just faster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Response_Technology

I wouldn't say it's marketing spin, just highlighting new features they're adding to their hardware.
How else would anyone know about it if they didn't bring it up? |

Forgive my ignorance, but are these iMacs capable of playing games like BF3 etc?
Traditionally this is where they were always compromised. |

Also worth a look: http://mostly-tech.com/2012/10/23/te...y-a-ipad-mini/ :thumb: |
Surprised about the iPad upgrade. Thought it was an annual thing with apple. Are they going 6 monthly now? :wonder:

Wise move, everyone would prefer one cable.
My iPad 2 is still powerful enough for me but the new ones sure are pretty. |

I have finally got rid of my cd player in the car as well and its just sd card or ipod/usb. Welcome to the future :) |

ipad mini base model £279 underpowered dual core
Nexus 7 base model £159 or less with quad core I have to admit after using both android and io6 as far as getting a cheaper tablet for browsing the web and the occasional game the Nexus 7 is king so far. |
