256MB RAM.....?

yeah........surprised also...........

but can go up to 16gb

could be a mistake.... macrumors reporting 2TB storage max, but macdailynews reporting 3TB storage max....

gizmodo - 2TB

could be lorr...heheheh

anyway, Steve Jobs on stage now....gonna talk about software...i think he'll start with leopard lah...hehe

tired liow....gonna sleep now....heheh

The base configuration goes for $2500, and features dual 2.6GHz processors, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, NVIDIA's GeForce 7300GT with 256MB of RAM, and a 16x SuperDrive

now it make sense, 1gb of ram

gosh.... where do i find USD2499....

Woot.. Malaysia flag is recognised. Does that mean Apple (Online) store soon? iTunes music store? Cheaper macs in Malaysia? Most importantly: Education discount?

fyi before this apple malaysia do have discount for student but many people misused it, but too have malaysia itunes music store would be great

so finish already the keynote, only mac pro, xserve and brief on leopard

us$1999 for 30" cinema display. so that's just shy of rm 8k!

suggested configuration for Mac Pro is :
Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon "Woodcrest" processors
4MB shared L2 cache per processor
1.33GHz dual independent frontside buses
1GB memory (667MHz DDR2 fully-buffered DIMM ECC)
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics with 256MB memory
250GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive1
16x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)

mm no core 2 duo for mobile??

I for one.... am getting a Mac Pro!

Woot!

oh shyit... this will be the most upgradable Powermac series!
the dual proc can be removed!

up to 5 million configurations u know.....heheheh

I mean self "upgrade" lar bro... hehehe...
everyone knows getting upgrade from apple will cost arms & legs.

What's the context of this slide? I mean, what was Steve Jobs talking about when this slide was shown?

mis-usage is so gonna happen here man... heheheh... but it's so unfortunate tat they stopped it...

my friend who's a lecturer, went out to get the office for mac and she paid like 400 or sumthing like tat for 3 licenses.. so tat's damn cool...

isn't it the same?

u buy a mac pro, and u have 5 million different configurations to choose from....

the only difference is apple do it for u, or u upgrade urself......hehehe

unless u are talking about modding the thing lah.....

Mac OS X Leopard???? cool!
still using Tiger about 1 month, yet another OS X will arrive! huh!

wow.. Mac Pro, the most upgradeable mac in Intel line...

no new ipod?

nope......maybe closing speech steve jobs will pull it out from his pocket........

ya lor.. was expecting whether he'd preview new ipod..

This is not a music event. Apple never introduce iPod on WWDC in the past.
WWDC stands for Worldwide Developer Conference, get what it means? Its more on Mac OS X.

if i just bought a new imac, can i upgrade to leopard free/withdiscount? or i have to stay using tiger

If you bought the a Mac few weeks (2-3weeks) before the OS release, you might get a free upgrade. But, in your case, you wont. Because Leopard wont release in another 3 months time.

uh, how much does a new OS cost here? is it worth to upgrade

Woot! New PowerMac G5 with Intel Core Duo chip and new name, Mac Pro

But who needs this hardware anyways? Studios?

Is the leopard OS X is in the MAc Pro?

maybe for now, it still pre-installed wif Mac OS X Tiger...

no intel core 2 duo chip announce for macbook?sort of...

Looks like the touch screen Ipod will not be release at this event. Been waiting for so long yet there's no news.

Macworld it is then for the iPod

Mac Pro giler best...its 500$ more than the cheapest macbook...for the cheapest configuration though

you forget too plus the 30inch apple display lol

if i am really really really into mac, i think i'll get a Mac Pro.....

but right now, i am just a noob using a macbook.....maybe later.....heheheh....

disappointed, only mac pro announced. core 2 duo? win machines are already coming out with them...no new ipod? that's bad, zune is coming...well, leopard is nice, but still the same old finder, which imho needs a re-design. come on apple, buckle up or else you will be going down soon. you've built yourself well these past 1-2 years, don't let it down. sad....

haiya...
u guys are asking alot lar. dont they've done alot already? come on... When they release a lot, they u ppl start complain too fast, my mac get replaced just a few months bla bla bla. Too many to flood the market lar.... ya da ya da...

10.5 is just an update for 10.4 so it make sense not to change every single little thing. Remember it's an update. Not a brand new version leap. maybe we all get confused by windows... you see, it's just a minor version update, and there's so much new feature. Did u get that on other OS? hahaha....

have to wait for OS XI for something totally new.

mac pro is mac book pro (lappy) or desktop like imac?

desktop if not mistaken

It's desktop, where got lappy can support until hard disk until 2Terabyte and 8pcs ram.
please check link provide by other people.

the problem is they dont read other ppl's post.

it's a desktop.....but if u are the world's strongest man, u can carry it on your lap with a 30" ACD to go with it......heheheh.....

hey, dont forget the keyboard, mouse and most important a battery that can feed that monster!!!

Err... did you mean "10.5 is just an update of 10.4?

On the other hand, guys... you asked a question quoting ppl's post WITH A LINK IN IT!!?? Gosh...

hahaha... thanks for pointing that. must be sleepy yday after staying late till 2am.

well, not wrong to ask..companies like dell and all are very frequently updating their product line, i mean also with better configurations. after all, this will give their competitors a run for money. products getting replaced fast, well that is technology, everyone complaints about it, but we can't do anything right, technology is always improving these past few years, many ppl are switching camps to a mac (me incl.) and they should continuously improve themselves.

cheers...btw, wei, u still with your cool blue PB?

IMHO, I do happy with Leopard, but not surprised.. First thing is, I have dream of something like Time Machine since 10.3 because WinXP have their System Restore funtions and it works pretty well(I know it's different thing but the concept is still same - undo the system to the state that you want before) and second thing is Space, I have think of it since I start to compare Linux Redhat 9 with OS X (Yep, once again it's different but the concept is still same - the desktop can be divide into few parts) That's few thing that I want to comment on Leopard. But really, those two funtions is really god damn great applications from Apple! For the other application such as Mail, iChat, Dashboard, Sportlight and Core Animation - it's good to have all those upgrades and I'm happy with it - but not totally happy..

SJ said they still save the top secret from us so I really hope the 'top secret' is really really 'top secret' that will satisfy and make people who don't have much money like me totally happy: First, feel happy to spend money on the OS that upgraded every year and second, To leave Vista and Linux a miles step ahead. And I believe this will happen with Leopard. Because windows is only 'photocopier'

Actually Apple do listen to their loyal customers.. since there have been many request from us to get new finder so I hope it's in the 'top secret' things (although I could not imagine how the new finder will looks like because I'm still happy with current finder, maybe tabbed finder?) together with other surprise new funtions and applications.. Maybe themes? Apple loves surprise, right people?

There's new Xserve and Mac Pro. The new Mac Pro is totally awesome! fast and very low prices too.. I start to think wether to pick MBP or the new MP

I am a loyal Mac user and will keep on support Mac, as long as I'm happy with it

Cheers.
