iLife update? not free?
- Thread starter MuGeN
- Start date
Now its been out a little bit, do you guys agree with a lot of the comments on other forums and reviews that its very good but also pretty buggy right now?
Apple do seem to be starting a trend of releasing stuff before its ready
- I'm happy to wait a bit for this one though if thats the case (unlike my need to get an iphone 3g straight away 
)

- I'm happy to wait a bit for this one though if thats the case (unlike my need to get an iphone 3g straight away )didn't you only just buy an iMac extreme 24"?My next machine will have Snow Leopard + iLife 09 + iWork
Tempted to buy it now, but getting it with the OS is always nice, so I'll wait.
(then again, i spose you speak the truth but maybe your talking about 18 months time)
jeez
what do you use the mac pro for out of interest? i've always found them hard to justify since my little macbook can run like everything at once without a hiccup (4gb of ram but still... a macbook) - right now photoshop, illustrator and indesign are open and it is not an issue
gonna get the new imac when it emerges and i think that'll be really powerful in comparison, but a mac pro - how do you use the power? (or do you maybe just want the power?)

and how many thousands of pounds is that going to be? ok i get the VAT off and its tax deductible but still... the iMac is gonna be in the region of a grand i think...
you see, if you're gonna say to me one and a half, i'd maybe consider it, but i know they're probably over 2, its just too damn much especially when i said that my macbook copes perfectly well with the stuff i do...
EDIT: just had a look at the current offerings and the processing power is superb but everything else is a bit pap...
Radeon 2600 XT / 8800 GT graphics? the PC i bought before my mac (so well over 2 years ago) was better than that... the ram would need to be upgraded after purchase due to the ridiculous margins they put on, same with the hard drives...
am i missing the point? i KNOW how powerful mac pros are but i don't see why they're so powerful on paper
