TheSloth Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 aluminum is spiffier than plastic They are both aluminium - that's my guess anyway. There's no way they can do the unibody process with polycarbonate. They are just coating it with shiny whiteness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Heh. The old "I'm a PC, I'm a Mac" ads have been tired for a while, but they've come up with just the right one-two combo for the Windows 7 launch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiU1Gu14xG0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Pretty good. Disparaging, though, which is always risky in competitive advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 The full teardown is here. Good news is that, as long as you're willing to swallow hard and pull that glass front off, swapping out the hard drive looks trivial compared to the current generation.

Currawong Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Fuck it, I'm getting a Core i7 27". My MacBook Pro is now 3 years old and 3GB of RAM just doesn't cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hell yeah! I played with the new 3.06 C2D the other day and that was pretty snappy with 4GB of RAM. Put 8GB in the i7 machine and go to town. Will say that you'll probably want a fair bit of wall clearance behind the screen for air circulation, as the Apple Store iMacs were pumping out the heat pretty impressively. The whole aluminium back panel seems to act as a big radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
