cyrana Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Wow, up to like 25% saying they'll buy the MBP. I can't wait for my tax return so I can get one, although I did just spend a huge amount of cash on a new suit and stuff today.

aldimeneira Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'm saving for the 17" iMac (I was about to buy an iPod nano when Apple announced that the transition will be over in 1 year not 2). If in one and a half years I don't get the money I will consider seriously to get a Mac mini (...or equivalent) or 12" iBook (...or equivalent). I don't mind won't being able to dual boot Windows cuss I've a decent PC right now (dual boot Linux/Windows) and I will work mainly in graphic design, sometimes in IT and in free time developing/testing FOSS. Windows is not really necessary and I've being wating for this OS to disappear because any work that I will made in the future will involve computers one way or the other.

SUBMarcos Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 In case the new macs can handle triple boot, with win and linuxI will definately think about it. Other than that I will build an OSx86 box with similar specs to the macs. Hopefully Mac OS will rnu on non Apple computers. Apple tends to sells machines that become obsolete in a few months (now less than 90 days!).

rastaman Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have ordered by MacBook Pro since the Jan 10, 2006 the 02:11 PM GMT ;-), it's a MBPRO 15/1.83 CTO 1GB 667 DDR2- 1 SO-DIMM 100GB Serial ATA Drive@7200rpm SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW) ATI Mobility Radeon X1600-256M BkLit Keyboard/Mac OS-F Airport Extreme Card&BT-F I've received a confirmation which said that i will not pay before the shipping of the product. The confirmation said also that the product will be shipped in a delay of 3 to 9 days after the 15 february. I hope this is true and even that this will be shorter. I must also order a 2d 1 Go RAM. O.T: I'm impatient to test the bootmgr.efi, bcd and other things from Vista 5270 on the MacBook. I also read in the MS Vista forums that the beta2 will be shipped ~ the 25 january, so perhaps this will improve compatibility with the MacIntels and new EFI 32bits laptops.

Doug the Impaler Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 with an official x86 Mac I wouldn't need to dual-boot. The only reason I'm in Windows right now is for Blizzard's games, and they'll be fine on a real Mac (according to Blizz), so I have nothing stopping me. My dream Mac Mini would be a 1.67 or 1.83GHz Core Solo (probably 1.67) with an X600 video card (64MB of RAM? I'm hoping 128), an 80GB hard drive, and a super drive with Airport Extreme and 1GB of memory. I hope I'm not too far off; it seems feasable.

defylogik Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 just picked up a new dual core g5 power mac and a used 1.2 ibook 12" . I have been using my 10.4.3 osx86 box for a while on top of that, and the software is definitly not ready for prime time yet. i would buy one for home, just because the OS is a lot more snappy, but in a production environment the intel boxes are just too finicky, and without adobe support out of the gate, a lot of people are leery to make a switch. i know i am. scott Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6804-who-is-ordering-a-new-intel-based-mac/page/2/#findComment-55355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bond Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'm debating between a MacBook, or just going for a whole new PC. Still debating the pro's and cons... gaming/Photoshopping will be a big factor for me... Voting MacBook for now...

Metrogirl Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 i'm waiting for 3rd party G5 upgrades know that apple don't buy all of these nice chips That's an interesting thought - I wonder what will happen to the unused stock of PowerPC processors? I think Apple will continue making them until the machines until their supply gets low, and then keep a stock for warranty repairs. IBM have other markets for the processors, so don't count on them getting too cheap.

Velvet Nightmare Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I think that would be a good idea. Just look at the great games that are getting the UB treatment - Quake 4, WoW...it's shaping up nicely. As far as Photoshop goes, we've seen already how it runs on our OSx86 boxes, and it's worked well enough to get the job done. Unless you need the serious power boost, and are doing Photoshop work for a living, it'd be a good ide and just go ahead with the Macbook. I know I'm happy with my decision to get one Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6804-who-is-ordering-a-new-intel-based-mac/page/2/#findComment-57882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
