I really wanted an iPad mini. But also wanted the retina screen. Going to have to digest everything and then decide to either keep the 2 for another year or go for the mini now.

 

[inogen]

I bought an iPad 3 weeks ago.

Technically, I could send it back. I bought it off ebay "new" - but it had been previously opened and used and restored about 10 days before I got it.

I don't think I'm going to bother to be honest. It's a 32GB and cost me £400 inc del, which is still £80 cheaper than a new one.

32 GB Nexus 7 is £199, £150 cheaper.

Yeah, so 50% increase in price from the N7 to the equivalent ipad mini !

 

[Skillmister]

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

I'd take it off your hands for a tenner hah

21.5 imac - £1099
27" imac - £1499

£100 increase :-/

 

[Glaucus]

you do realise the US price DOESNT INCLUDE TAXES, where as ours will

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Someone did a direct us to gbp conversion.


Woot I win far to expensive, and I can't see the point over the standard ipad, it's hardly much smaller.

I feel sorry for the users who purchased an iPad 3 in the last 2 months. HA!

Couldn't care less, I bought at launch which was awhile ago, the display is the same and I don't care about lightning connector, the big deal for switching to the iPad 3rd gen was the display, processor bump won't make much difference unless your using the gaming apps.

 

[muon]

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

Yep, watching HD movies in HD IPS display on a Nexus 7 is junk.

 

[DAnDan]

Which one?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

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?

It's the size that I like.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I am suprised that it wasn't a retina on the IPM. Where is iTunes.

Same here and the Nexus 7 stays.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Wow, what a blown opportunity. I honestly thought prior to this launch I was about to buy my first recent Apple product

 

[qqg3]

As usual, I am nonplussed with all the iPad announcements and hype. But, the 13" rMBP could be a steal, 15" was always too big for me.

Some of the Techies are already moaning about the price... If it was retina it would bump the price up even more!

 

[Marky]

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.

Ah yeah that's good to know

 

[Barks]

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

Last year they did a 12-month interest-free offer on iMacs in December. Might be something worth considering.

 

[ONESHOTKILL]

I was expecting £250 for 8gb so £269 for 16gb isn't too bad, I just want something a little bit more portable then my ipad2 , I just wished the cellular models were abit cheaper

I'm thinking of the 13" rMBP but then the iMac is looking VERY tempting!
