Actually to buy a Mac is quite affordable. Computers used to cost much more. How bout a Mac with monitor for 10,000 bucks. Oh and buy the way, it couldnt do even a tiny bit of what the new ones are cabable of. I myself am waiting til next year to pick up a dual dual core model after a couple of revisions come out after it. How much power do we really need anyway.
be that as it is, an amazing $3000 computer still costs about $3000 more than I have...

Watching DVDs and Videos on a laptop or a portable player can be a world of eyeball straining. The new iPod has TV out but I dout the quality isn't that great.
Apple is kinda slow on developing faster systems because of the RISC arch they use for the CPU. When Apple switches to x86 this will open a door to faster and more high end equipment.
So the new powermacs and books are out - not too much done to the books, and the macs were the expected dual core, looking pretty nice. Here's the G5's

yea, I am a little skeptical. I am one of those, "biger is better" "more is better" type guys. Seeing as only the top line model has dual processors, I am not convinced this was a smart move. I see the stats below, but I don't hardly ever trust stats that a company with a vested interest publishes.
GIVE US A DUAL PROCESSOR, DUAL CORE, MID LEVEL MODEL! :woohoo: (for crying out loud)

If you go to the store, and max out the Quad (16GB of RAM, two 500GB HDs, the Quatro FX4500, dual 30" displays, airport and bluetooth, wireless keyboard and house, and applecare), EVEN AFTER STUDENT DISCOUNT it'll run you over $20,000.
You could deal Coca-Cola for, say, maybe ten years? Then you'd be able to get one of those wonderful, high-tech, newer-technology PowerMacs with dual-core G5s. That would be awesome... Oh wait...
