Futuristic iMac

iMav · 06-07-2006, 11:16 PM

The iMac features a 30" utra-thin LCD screen, which is totally transparent when the iMac is not in use. The screen can also be set to various levels of translucency, and can fade during sleep modes etc. The keyboard is also totally tramsparent, low profile and a curved ergonomic design, with light sensitive illuminated keys. Everything is of course, wireless.

Apple has been at the forefront of technological innovations. Be it sleek design, ease of use of the Mac O.S,
great graphics effects, ergonomic design.When You think about new innovatative things then Mac is the
machine that comes to mind.Ofcourse Microsoft will copy all the Mac O.S features & incorporate it in next
version of Windows , after Vista!!

i wonder after copying apple, how windows sells a lot and i mean a lot more than apple

JGuru · 10-07-2006, 09:51 PM

That because Mac caters to a niche audience, not common people. Since Mac is
very expensive. You can buy 2 or even 3 assembled PCs and install Windows for
the same cost of buying a Mac!! Even Bill Gates once said that he uses a Mac laptop
during flights!! Gates even donated around $20 million to Apple, when Apple was
drowning!! I have used the new Mac. You can't describe your experience, when you
use it you know that you use the best one in the world. Windows is total cr@p.

M$ sell only the OS and not the machine required to run it, where as to run OS X you need hardware from Apple

Just use a mac for a week and you'll wonder how people buy windows PCs...... Its worth it even at its current high price...

nagarjun_424 · 11-07-2006, 08:18 PM

Wow! Love it. Hope some one creates a Windows PC like that.

rakeshishere · 11-07-2006, 08:59 PM

dIgItaL_BrAt · 11-07-2006, 09:11 PM

vignesh · 11-07-2006, 10:40 PM

Immature comment.

Apple is a hardware company. Microsoft is a software company. Apple sells hardware primarily. Their software is a value addition to the hardware.

I can't still believe ppl read other forums.. and in this age say Apple is expensive. Guys get real.. look at the rates.. If an iMac is worth 75k, then it comes with a 17" widescreeen.*

To the guy who can assemble 3 'windows' machines in the price of one iMac. Dude go out and buy the Core Duo 2.0 ghz and make three machines. Get up. This is 2006 not 1982 and stop reading what was said in 1995.

For those who can't afford an iMac, Mac Mini comes at 34-35k. It comes with an OS worth 6k(no LAME home/professional thing), iLife suite worth 6k and a host of other apps. I know the cost of software in India is ZERO, but consider these additions.. and the 3-4k price difference between Macs and other machines gets justified.

MS being a software company is only part of the answer the thing is apple is rigid to say that our OS work on or systems only .... and honestly ppl the only benefit of a mac is that it is good looking other than that there is not much to it ..... as far as working is considered MS is more widespread and almost all softwares are written for MS .... i dont think it is worth paying 35k for a asthetic piece of crap ..... apple is still for upper middle class and higher class ..... it cannot expect to compete with MS that is for evry1 ..... nothing is justified

LOL. You obviously don't know what you are talking about....

blueshift · 16-07-2006, 12:07 PM

Immature comment#2. If you don't mind me asking, have you received training from Rameez Raja?

Have you used OS X? Do you know how it works? Do you know which software are/are not available for the platform? Do you know what Exposé and Spotlight are? Have you ever used desktop hot corners? Do you know what multi-tasking is? Do you know what Dashboard is? Have you ever used an OS with inbuilt PDF support? Have you used an OS for which you didn't need to install printer drivers? Have you ever used a secure OS?

I am not rich in any sense of the imagination. I am a smart* middle class guy though. Smart being the keyword.

*People who didn't skip Complan in their childhood

iMav · 16-07-2006, 10:40 PM

yeah i accept i do not what the hell u r talking about but what part of my comment is immature .... apple OS wrks only on apple correct me if i am wrong ..... dont need to install printer drivers i dont hav a printer ..... multi tasking i can do all tasks that i want on my Windows ... photoshop, surfing, soundforge, dreamweaver all this at the same time .... i call this multi tasking .... symantec has said that OS X has no virus .... smart being the keyword i hv always had my backup ready..... not been affected by a major virus attack even if i am my machine will be back up in less than 3hrs (formatting and installing everything) PDF support who cares i hav adobe professional acrobat reader enough support i need can u play Most wanted on mac, can u play Max payne, ur signature grow upto use the mac 1 does not need to grow up what needs to grow is ur pockets today i can use linux on my existing machine that is by far 1 of the biggest reasons why linux is a success if linux said that we can overcome all windows' flaws but u need to buy another machine for it .... i doubt it would hv achieved what it has ..... if that were to be the case only a few ppl like u would hav been supporting linux ...... why the hell did apple start offering windows on its machines ..... jobs realized that it made market sense to sell its machines that did not only work OS X but also the most widely accepted and adopted OS - windows ....

You're really consistent with your replies, aren't you?

I'll advice you to try it out first and then speak. Half knowledge is dangerous and no knowledge is fatal.

I suspect you belong to the second category when it comes to Apple. Do you know the similarities between Linux and OS X? Did you know I can run all linux apps on OS X?

As regards games, well I didn't play a game since I got my first computer. So, in that regard, I don't miss a thing. I can't play 'Max Payne' or any other random game kids play.. but I can make a movie with iMovie.

There is a nice club started by one of the members of this forum. It is called 'Get-a-life' club. I believe you are perfectly eligible to get a premium membership to it.

iMav · 17-07-2006, 05:32 PM

look man i have nothing against apple ...... my dream machine is an apple also the acer ferrari notebook ....... but for me the only reason why i am pessimistic about apple OS is that there is nothing much out there ..... no matter how good apple is accept the fact that it is no where as compared to windows and linux .... after vista linux is gonna hav hard times and OS X also will certainly feel the heat

damnthenet · 20-07-2006, 10:35 PM

SIMPLY SENSATIONAL...
FANTASTIC...
EYE CATCHY...
WONDERFUL....and lots more!

Hey guys,

The guys who used it know what it is???
Its aweaome and if someone thinks that Mac pc's are crap then u don't know what u r talking about.I never bought a Mac computer but My school has many Mac pc's in the library and they are used only for Video-Editing.And they don't hang Crash like windows.Apple deos not install its Operating system on crap Hardware.There PC's can Handle all those glossy effects.They have a standard and Quality...

Not like Windows...People are installing Windows Vista on a 486.
