As everybody’s favorite keynote of the year approaches, more and more rumors about the great iProducts to come begin floating around the great rumor mill. Our friends over at MacRumors have supposedly obtained a draft version of the keynote transcripts for the upcoming MacWorld 2008. I have no idea if it is real or not, but I wouldn’t doubt it. Here’s a summary of the speculated things to come. Here’s a compiled list of what MacRumor’s two transcripts consist of. Remember, none of this is guaranteed and nothing is promised, so don’t hold your breath on it.

No… dufam, ze vsetko bude splnene. Najviac sa tesim na MacTouch a novy FrontRow. Ak naozaj uvolnia SDK, mozno bude v nejakom plugine konecne poriadny support pre titulky. Uz sa tesiiiiiim! (ne ze by som tam isiel, ale hned zacnem stahovat videa)
Ak by bola aspoň polovica, bude to super! Osobne očakávam Cinema Displeje, tie asi budú, Mac Pro a MBP budú pravdepodobne tiež upgradnuté a ostatné sa necháme prekvapiť :), teším sa.
1. su to nove ceny januarove
2. su to americke ceny v dollaroch, ked to prepocitas na slovenske koruny s danou clom dovozom a 2 rocnou zarukou a neviem cim este…
3. malinko su mozno nadcasove, ale kto vie :)
Tie ceny sú prinízke. Ceny v EU sa rovnajú 1:1 dolár k euru => 20″ za cca 13500 SKK, príliš málo. Možnosti sú, že je to blbosť, alebo to nebudú High End displeje (vlastne ani teraz niesu ale niesu ani priemerné), 20 a 23″ budú glossy (to ma desí, ale neprekvapuje, vychádzajú z toho že profesionál si bezproblémov kúpi 30″) a posledná možnosť je najmenej pravdepoodbná a to že Apple je taká skvelá firma že sa dla na dobročinnosť a predáva svoje proukty za polovicu :)
Osobne tipujem pravdepodobnosť týchto možností v poradí v akom sú zostupne.
Mac:
Pokial bude 20″ Cinema kvalitativne podobna s tym, co dava Apple do 20″ iMackov, tak ta cena nema byt preco vysoka. To by isiel Apple sam proti sebe…
Som zvedavy na Mac Nano.
Mac nano mi z toho pripadá ako najväčšia blbosť a najmenej tomu verím. Bez HDD by sa to malo dať a asi by to bolo bez optickej mechaniky. Nakoniec kto by pred vytvorením Mini veril že sa dá do takého priestoru naskladať počítač (G4 Cube detto). ALe aj tak tomu neverím je to príliš veľa výrobkov naraz, pochybujem že by to zvládli, jedine na úkor kvality, ale na druhej strane nechcem ich podceňovať.
Ten macbook mini na tej “fotke” vyzera podla mňa velmi pravdepodobne, velmi ma na ňom zaujal ten velký trackpad, boh vie načo to bude dobre…;D. Už sa teším, ešte že neupgradovali macbook bo by ma šlak trafil že som ho kupil.
S pozdravom
Ale ak má byť Macbook ultra portable, nestačí len ztenšiť ale chce to orezať prebytočný plast okolo displeja. Nech si pozrú IBM X-radu alebo T-radu, aby vedeli, ako sa robí čo najväčší displej do čo najmenšieho plastu. T a X rady som používal pred Mac-mi, jeden T40 ešte mám a keď ho dám vedľa Macbooku, stále je nejako tenší a menší, aj keď má už dobré 4 roky od uvedenia na trh.
Hej, stare IBM booky boli asi to najvalitnejsie, co som poznal. (asi co sa tyka windows masin) Krasna durabilita, kvalita, zivotnost na niekolko rokov.
Ale tie casy su uz prec. Teraz sme kupili ten ultra-portable 13″ (uvadza sa tusim 12″) Lenovo book. Celkom pekny, ale hrany su take iste, ako u macbooku, dokonca sa tieto dva booky nenormalne podobaju. (az na hrubku) Nuz pocul som viacero zlych nazorov na Lenovo pri porovnavani s IBM.
Tiez nechapem tie siroke ramy, keby ich dali prec, tak macbook ma 15″ obrazovku. (co by mi celkom bodlo)
Ved uvidime, ale myslim si, ze apple ma dostatok technologii na to, aby do booku dali hocico. (teda zalezi aj na cene) Nechajme sa prekvapit, ja sa tiez uz velmi tesim. :p
