OK, I was wrong. The new Apple product was a 2 inch wide desk top computer. Some are complaining the cost is too high – approximately $1200. As a Mac user, this position annoys me. This is a high end machine. If you want something less expensive, the Apple eMac is about $800. Also consider the capabilities of the built-in hardware and software supporting multimedia (iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto, etc.). Purchasing an iMac would be overkill if you only want to word process and search the Internet. Maybe you have other types of projects in mind. I would agree that Macs do offer less flexibility in hardware configuration than systems based on other operating systems. We all make a personal decision as to how important this issue is. In my opionion, you either get what you pay for or you add stuff later ’cause what you paid for does not do what you had hoped.
