"Meh"


Only thing interesting is the 27" display on the iMac running 2560x1440.

As always, the prices are outrageous for what you're getting. No thanks.

I think the Magic Mouse is the best thing there, even if it is a bit expensive. No tactile feedback either, but with a mouse that isn't too terrible. Lack of a scroll wheel is weird - multi-touch scrolling would take me a bit of time to get used to.

Microsoft had been working on a multi-touch mouse, kind of surprised me this came out of nowhere... But I'm pretty sure I'll stick with my mouse... and my PC... *cough*.

Edit:
Ha ha, since I was at school, they had added a new video on Engadget. The guy is pretty rough on the new Apple stuff, but I pretty much agree with him. Funny watching him struggle with the magic mouse though.

Magic mouse is interesting. The Mac Mini server also slightly peaks my interest for the size, but the price is unappealing. I was interested reading the description of the remote, but having to have to pay $50 just to use the thing with my iPod (on top of the $20 I would already have to spend on the thing) makes me sad. I'm not willing to spend that kind of money for a remote.

The Magic Mouse was hinted at on Engadget by the reports of a capacitive multitouch patent being filed by Apple and the selling of the name "Mighty Mouse," too.

The 27" iMac piques my interest because I'd love to have an AIO, but nobody can make one even remotely as well as Apple can; if it weren't for the lacklustre GPU selection (the HD4850 is good, but with HD5850 out, it's officially too old), I'd buy one. That said, there is hope because the teardown on iFixit showed what looks like a standard PCI-e slot that the GPU daughterboard is attached to.
