Holy freaking awesome! Today the Apple store went down for a good bit. Don’t fret though everthing is fine, in fact it is better than fantastic.
Apple brought in some new playthings. A new trackpad that is about the same height as the keyboard allows you to better manipulate the items on your new iMac. Yes, I said a new iMac. Remember those reports about the outrageously powerful i7 processor that can set fire to a macbook unless you use it on its side? Good News! They are now in the new iMac. The best part is iMacs are vertically designed to enable it to not explode.
For an extra $69, the cost of the magic trackpad, you are able to customize the iMac to come with the new touch-tastic toy as well as the magic mouse that it automatically includes. Honestly I half expected it to cost more than that, you can’t expect apple to sell you the thing for an OEM price on the first day it is available.
To top it all off they have announced a new more powerful Mac Pro. The new Mac will include a 12 core structure and I’m willing to bet that there might be a few different ports on it as well (specifically Firewire 1600 and 3200). Don’t be expecting them too keep the recent 800 ports.
Start saving up because these things are not cheap. Stock up on new cameras and camcorders if you plan on getting the new Mac Pro because those old firewire ports are as good as gone now. If you are a casual user I highly reccomend the Magic Trackpad and it might be a good idea to save up for that iMac as your next Mac purchase. I can’t wait until August. My birthday is coming up and there is a new Mac Pro coming in.
