Buy now or wait?
I was looking at buying a 20-inch iMac G5 or fully decked out mini-Mac this summer.
Buy now or wait?
The standard hardware maxims still hold true even with Apple equipment. The best way to see a performance increase is usually to increase the amount of RAM available. If you aren't maxed out, I would do that before buying a new machine. RAM is relatively inexpensive and hopefully the performance increase will give you enough time to further evaluate things when Apple decides to release some more detailed information - like, for example, exactly WHICH Intel processor(s) will be used.
Buy now or wait?
Personally I think you'll run into more compatibility problems if you buy one of the first Intel Macs (which will likely be laptops anyway).
Buy now or wait?
I'm in almost exactly the same boat. My G3 iMac is nearly 5 years old, and while it's mostly good enough for what I do with it, I've been promising myself a new computer for a while now. My take on the situation is:
And yet, part of me thinks getting a Mac mini would be the smarter move right now, to last me maybe 3 years until the 2nd revisions of Intel-based Macs are available. Tricky call.
Buy now or wait?
To be honest, I'll be upgrading at some point. I have an old Grape iMac DV/400 running 10.3.9. |
