New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

oh it's 1400 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/723270-REG/Apple_MC511LL_A_27_iMac_Desktop_Computer.html

that one has the displayport input so you can mirror the display of any computer you plug into it (use it as an external display, basically), so you'd have like a free display + computer?

not sure if they make thunderbolt -> display port cables yet tho

It's the same cable.

Install of Lion worked like a dream for me. Figure I'll discover more of the quirks as I go. (Conveniently those items in my dock that showed as being incompatible with it were mostly ones I didn't need anymore anyway so hurrah for a forced cleanup.)

Why should I keep my i5 MBP 15" with anti-glare screen? Far as I can tell the only thing that makes it better then these new airs is the screen, which I plan on pairing with another monitor anyway. Hell, when I bought the MBP I was bummed that the 13" was still Core2Duo and would've gotten the 13" had they upgraded it. I don't need tons of storage, I have a Pro at home. This is for using in the office and on the go.

Debating selling the 13" i7 MBP I got for work for a 13" MBA - I have a 27" iMac that gets used most of the time, the MBA is just for documents on the job+school+travel.

quite like lion :D

I really don't so far. Mission control is half-baked and the other iOS-style features feel awkward. Yes I know there's a Lion thread, I'm lazy.

(this is on a 15" mbp btw)

I'm very happy with my MPB 13" as it's my only computer (plugged into external monitor most of the time). MBA wouldn't be powerful enough or have enough ports etc and a 15" was too expensive and quite a lot less portable.

Guy at work also has one and says there was quite a big performance difference at the time between it and the MB and it had FireWire too, which makes more sense.

Yeah, I definitely need FW.

Are there any 3rd party thunderbolt monitors yet?

why is dayo's post replicating itself? i am scared

I think it's just now getting to the point where people are making monitors with displayport input, so there are some available. It's odd in that I kind of wanted one for a while and it seemed like there were a handful released when Apple switched to displayport, then companies gave up and kept making DVI-only ones for a few more years.

definite gap in market for MBP 13": it sits in the space the white macbook's just vacated, and it's a much more powerful machine. tried the 11" air and it couldn't handle streamed content from vimeo HD seamlessly. bit disappointing, so might plump for the 13" MBP instead

mini display port and Thunderbolt use the same cables. I don't know how daisy chaining works, though -- you might have to have the display on the end. It's like the SCSI days again!

hmmm

i have never had a prob with any streamed video on the lovely emma b's air. that said, she has the beefier 11"

pretty sure the great part of thunderbolt chaining is that it doesn't matter where things are

intel had a demo where they had a disk array, a computer, and a display chained with the display in the middle and they were playing a bunch of video off of the disk array with no issues

inverted scrolling in Lion gonna restart the inverted look v game battles of lore?

I think I hate it fwiw

It makes sense on a trackpad imo, the cognitive gap for a scroll wheel is probably larger though.

on trackpad, could adapt but not sure it's worth the bother

I'm on the same page as Schlafsack

It's miracle day!

ok i'm not a software-head or anything and i probably wouldn't understand half this thread... but... should i bother getting lion? should i wait? i have a macbook pro that's lion-ready fwiw.

dooo it

why? give me a reason!

In a few months app updates with cool stuff will use api features that require Lion and you'll be like "why do I need to upgrade, grind grind moan"

that and the gesture stuff is pretty fun

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-21/apple-said-to-consider-making-an-offer-for-hulu-online-television-service.html

Kind of skeptical, but it's possible and would be a great acquisition for their hobby appliance. They've got Netflix and MLB for subscription services, so a Hulu option would make sense, but it's kind of annoying that this might kill the service for the many other devices it's on.

btw that screenshot upthread that I can't seem to delete is actually dual quad core processors

braggin'

i wonder how much spotify's scaring them right now

Apple does not give one fuck.

lion is making my 2006 mb ~grind~

sigh. first OS update to make my computer slower in 11 years I think

RIP white mb. easy enough to downgrade if I need to?

does MS Office 2008 work with Lion? Because I heard today it doesn't. This was very second-hand though.

It'll grind for the first 1-2 hrs because Spotlight has to reindex your whole drive. cmd+space will tell you how long it's got to go.

xp

wonder if that is maybe it

all the animations are treacle tho regardless

Oh, I should mention that Lion's time estimates were garbage for me. 33 minute installation took 65 minutes and the 18 hr spotlight indexing took 1.5 hrs.

and yeah, the whole interface is shithouse until the indexing finishes so

indexing is long finished

bugger

I don't know whether this is related but my battery life was horrible last night, even well after the indexing had finished. Maybe I had some flash thing open somewhere.
