- givemereplay, on 07/04/2008, -4/+99Maybe if it dropped TO 500 dollars I'd consider it. These are hard times.
- bigteebo, on 07/04/2008, -4/+73This is like news of the Bugatti Veyron dropping $10K in price. Still outta my range.
- virtualball, on 07/04/2008, -5/+57Nice! Now it's almost, kind of, sorta affordable. Well, at least Kanye can get a new one for less money...
- funkeepickle, on 07/04/2008, -4/+50It's still ridiculously expensive...
- ahawks, on 07/04/2008, -3/+24Yes, we know, this story was already on the front page about 8 hours ago.
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/07/03/appl ... - DeathJux, on 07/04/2008, -1/+21Uh, you were an "early adopter" of the iPod Mini and the iPod Video came out shortly thereafter? You do realize that the iPod Video came out a year and a half after the Mini, right?
- invinciblenow, on 07/04/2008, -1/+20***** this, when is the new macbook pro coming out?
- flarn2006, on 07/04/2008, -0/+18To make that come quicker, why not buy an iPod touch?
- iofthestorm, on 07/04/2008, -1/+16That's because no one actually bought one.
/zing! - flarn2006, on 07/04/2008, -5/+18I'd rather have the MacBook Air than a pile of newspapers!

- floejoe, on 07/04/2008, -11/+19I used to be an early adopter until I bought my first iPod mini only to have it replaced by the 30 gb iPod video shortly thereafter. As soon as I bought that, the iPod touch hit the market...
I'm holding off for the mind controlled iPod now. - inactive, on 07/04/2008, -5/+13Necessary anti-Apple comment.
- KMartSheriff, on 07/04/2008, -1/+8Your ignorance is amazing.
- neel360, on 07/04/2008, -1/+7The preview image just made me realize just how lame the pictures accompanying articles on MacRumors are.
- virtualball, on 07/04/2008, -1/+7I hate to break it to you, the mini was never in the main iPod line...
- blackjack75, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5Or those who did have don't understand how 500$ is any noticeable difference in their budget...
- mrgoat, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5What? You mean when you buy *****, other ***** comes out that is better?
***** me sideways. - colonelpanic, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5Had my video for 2 years now, and its still kickin-only reason i want a new one is storage.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -5/+9You would have to be stupid or a real douchebag to buy one of those.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4I work with Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, and Illustrator, primarily. A slower computer could perform the same tasks, but I chose to get the tasks done much more quickly, which means more money in my pocket.
- anagoge, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Fatality! Neccessary wins.
- flare1028us, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3That's actually what I thought the title said at first glance... I was already reaching for my check card.
- john87, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3That's what I'm waiting for!! Come on redesign!
- artfuldodga, on 07/04/2008, -4/+7Not a surprise, what sane person would buy it for its previous pricetag?
- logic, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Nonsensical statement involving plankton.
- Kanidia, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Sorry to ask, but why did you buy a Mac Pro for "real work"? What kind of work requires that power?
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3It isn't meant for gaming, idiot. See the bit that says 'pro'? Its for people who WORK, not time wasters like you.
- mCanada, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2It's amazing how far things have come. In 2002 my G4 PB 1.33GHz 512MB 80GB HD Radeon 8500 - 15" was $2600 CAD, or about $2200 US (I think at the time). I'm not really a mac or pc zealot, but looking back over the past 6 years on my powerbook I will say that it's served me well. I'm glad that I did get the Applecare on it, even thought it was rather expensive. The G4's seemed to have higher defect rates so I may have lucked out on the Applecare roulette; as the logic board, HD, LCD and trackpad were replaced. The G4's still are excellent for the basic's but Leopard really needs ram. My point is: I opted for the high end in '02 like the Mac Book Air, but it's lasted for 6 years through my meandering degree.
- diggimator, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3Wow, it's still expensive.
And not user-serviceable. - Dunhamzzz, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3BOTHERED! It hasn't changed in the UK.
- supersteve, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2still way to much money, just spend less and get a macbook or a bit more and get a pro.
- PossFIMH, on 07/03/2008, -6/+8I was half expecting a quiet 128gb HD upgrade too
- matt247, on 07/04/2008, -4/+6Too expensive for a cake cutter
- blackjack75, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2OK, send five 5 billions dollars cash, an I guarantee I can get you this.
- Burn, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2That doesn't exactly count as an 'ultra thin/ laptop though does it...
I build my own computers /and/ run Mac OS, works for me :) - r3m1x645, on 07/04/2008, -4/+6Now it's only costs twice as much as a decent PC. Humanity rejoice!
- diggimator, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I'm waiting for the "imminent" Mac mini upgrade myself:
http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_mini - browwiw, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2How many times I got to tell you? It was Flavor-Aid.
- adasha, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!
- alexanEmpire, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Great...it went from unfordable, to still unfordable.
- Wakuko, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I know from inside sources an Air Nano will be shown at MacWorld in january.
Apple will redefine the concept of mini laptops again.
Asus we barely knew you! - Jenadae, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2That is a REALLY sexy laptop...
- jman583, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Twice? more like quadruple the cost of my 600 dollar laptop with better specs then the Macbook air.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -2/+3Amazingly still overpriced.
- clockdist, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1I'm sold.
Voodoo rules! - juicebag, on 07/04/2008, -2/+3It's still 2500 dollars for a crappy computer.
- dtfinch, on 07/04/2008, -2/+3Any Mac user.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1And how would I run Final Cut Pro?
Please don't think OSX86 is the answer. It's a fun project, but I would never use it for real work. It's not nearly reliable enough, and I spent the extra money so I can be sure the computer will work when I want it to.
Is there any other reason why I shouldn't have bought a Mac Pro? -
