Hmm was so tempted by the 13" Air, but the 13" rMBP sounds pretty good, mianly the weight saving aspect for me,

annoying what to go for??!!

US sales tax is around 10% in all states, usually less. If the iPad Mini UK price equates to the US price + 10% converted into pounds, I'll eat my hat.

Not all states have sales tax.

£269

Pricey!

The prices for extra memory are still comical though!

Why push the boundries when you can lash a load of old tech into a smaller case, do a few slightly dodgy bordering on misleading comparisons to your competition and then still have it more than likely be a best seller at $80 more than the competition too?

Apple have a captive market, there isn't nearly as much incentive for them to push boundries these days.

Indeed, great work from Apple from a business point of view, just a shame that it will be so well received, and probably praised as the second coming of Jebus!

Finally I can buy an iMac I've been waiting for ages for them to refresh it.

Might be adding that new iPad Mini to the cart as well. £269 for that is just ridiculously good value.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Just new iMac for me, got until December to save up

 

[LiE]

It's nice and all that they have increased the power of the iPad, but honestly, does it really need more power? The iPad 3 already breezes through everything.

 

[POB]

Tempted to buy a couple of iPad minis.

To sell for a profit near Christmas.

A Kindle and a Nexus 7 32GB for the same price as the 32GB iPad Mini. Give it 6 months and you'll get the Retina iPad Mini

Just waiting on a MBP 13" review, since that's the most appealing announcement IMO..

 

[Logsi]

Just realised the iMac is configurable to;

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

Configurable to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB of GDDR5 memory.

Not all states have sales tax.

I stand corrected. My point still remains.

The UK price is more than US price + 10% converted to pounds.

£269 I'm sold. I think I will get one and sell my iPad 2.

But the mini has the same tech inside except the addition of better WiFi and it has a new data/power connector? Is any accessories you currently have are defunct. Also how much do you think your iPad 2 will be worth with iPad 4th gen coming out?

The 32GB N7 is likely to be £200 or £250 (tops), so will be £100 or £150 cheaper than the equivalent mini.

 

[k3wt]

lurvely. mini iPad and 27inch iMac

 

[muon]

I hope people try the Nexus 7 before spending over £150 extra for the 32Gb iPad mini.

 

[Tweaker]

Excited about the mac mini, ipad 4 and MBP, probably end up with the mac mini, a little disappointed in the iPad m, seems a little dull compared to the beastly ipad 4.

 

[sbi5ar]

Might be time to sell (more likely give away) my iPad 1

 

[MORE SPEED]

162 PPI for the iPad mini
216 PPI for the Nexus 7

 

[SDK^]

An iPad Mini for the parents for Xmas
A new iPad for me for Xmas

The 32GB N7 is likely to be £200 or £250 (tops), so will be £100 or £150 cheaper than the equivalent mini.

32 GB Nexus 7 is £199, £150 cheaper.

It's junk though with that frankly HIDEOUS aspect ratio...
