I've seriously been considering whether or not to make the substantial switch to the Mac recently. I feel that the Mac has so much more to offer in terms of creativity and experience, I would really like to make use of that. I've pretty much made my mind up now and have decided to travel across into the Mac regions however, it'll have to wait.
I've subscribed to the feed of MacRumors in my Google Reader and frequently read many of their articles and reports as well as numerous other Apple rumor and reports sites (Such as AppleInsider). So it was only natural that I checked out their Buyer's Guide, and it seems to be pretty reliable and accurate, I instantly clicked the time ordered link at the top and found that the top three (listed above) seemed to be the Mac Mini, iMac and iPod. I was considering to start out with the Mac Mini but then thought to spend that little extra on an iMac - Only to find that those were the top two on the do not buy list. They seem to be pretty amazingly over their normal estimate and with Leopard release getting pushed further and further back and the speculation spinning wildly out of control... Is Apple the new Microsoft?
No. I wouldn't go that far either. Leopard will hopefully be here before we become all old and gray. Many other products appear to 'expire' in the next 3 months (June), which just happens to host WWDC in which the first day also seems to give way to the iPhone. I think before this first quarter is out a whole range of Apple Merchandise will have been revamped - all of which will integrate Leopard. I hope so anyway.
