Time For A Mac Redesign
New Features are on the way for the Mac, according to this source.In addition to the coming new features, there is also talk of a Mac redesign to update things a bit. Wonder what Apple has in mind here?
Visions of the old color encased Macs keep coming to mind. But no, I am sure these Macs while still being self-contained, will be a bit more attractive than that rainbow colored nightmare.
I envision a slightly thinner, larger Mac shaped pretty much the same as the iMacs of today. The big difference however, is I suspect we will see touch technology built into the screens. Not really going out on a ledge here if you stop to think about it.

I’m just hoping for a price drop!

As long as the specs for a Mac continue to be less spec than a PC, for less money, it wont matter to me. Im a PC user. As long as apple sells computers for $1k more than the same spec PC, I will stay a PC. Last time I checked a pound of Aluminum was not $1k. When Apple will make a comparable specked computer with same features as a PC, and keep the price in the $1600 region I MIGHT buy. As for now I have a HP HDX with 500GB of HDD, 2.6Ghz Dual Core Pentium, and 1066Mhz FSB, and did I mention 6GB of Ram @ 733Mhz! I have HDMI output and lightscribe DVD-R, and a fingerprint reader. Heck at Apple if they offered half that stuff it would cost well over $4K, I paid $1499 for my PC. Yes Apple needs a design and price adjustment, this is why only 5% of computer owners are a Mac! Just my opinion.

No the Macbooks are fine the way they are! The earlier Macbooks didn’t look serious!

People that pay over $1K for a PC and justify it vs the Mac by quoting spec – remind me of the people who buy a 12MP camera thinking it is twice as good as the 6MP camera someone bought for the same price…
Where the Mac is facing pressure is the budget side of things – under 600 for a laptop – if you look you can get a lot of laptop for 500 to 600 – but judging from market share growth Apple does not need to be there for now.
