Its purdy......
 
 But its almost to the point where it is a portable, or a tablet..... but without the battery. It almost signals its own extinction.

As far as design goes, Apple's tops.  I'm no techie, so I can't comment on function.

there is no future for the desktop/workstation computer as we know it, it basically is a tablet made more comfortable to use in a home environment

i just saw this on apple's website today...i bought my first mac back in 1999 and now have the G4 iMac.  most of my friends have bought PCs and have a host of problems, sometimes within months of purchasing.  viruses are a concern with the mac either. people don't waste time writing viruses for mac platform; almost all viruses are .exec files that are unreadable by macs.  
 
 i do love my G4 iMac but i'll probably sell it soon so i can buy a G5 when it comes out in September.  PM me if you're interested in my G4 (it's pretty souped up...extra memory and software, etc.).

I'm not an Apple guy, but that gave me a little chubby, I'm not going to lie.  It looks pretty sweet.
 
 They've come a long way from creating the home computer by marketing their next great computer as "From the Creator of the Ipod."  Should we expect a World Series Commercial of a 1984 Orwellian Business meeting, except this time the marathon runner will be listening to an Ipod?

Didn't they already update the Orwellian ad with an iPod?

i actually watched all of the superbowl commercials this year hoping that apple would commemorate their first with a reprise directed by ridley scott.
