Yeah that makes a lot of sense. "Move now or just wait forever"
Damn Apple..a fence sitter's dilemma
Almost ready to make the'move'...Buy the Mac mini, go with a firewire dac (seems to make more sense to my computer illiterate brain), decided on a simplified Raid backup, still worrying over format to rip cd's....And now Apple introduces a new connectivity mode : Thunderbolt. A zillion times faster than USB 2 and Firewire 800, single connectivity with audio, video, data, etc., and a whole lot of other things I don't understand.
Sure, it's only in the MBP's introduced this week, not the Mini; but trickle down is their modus operondi. Sure, I should get off the fence and make a move 'cause there will always be the next great thing coming down the pipe, but I sure hate to spend my pennies and be obsolete in 16 months. Whaddya' think?

MacRumor's Buyer's Guide. Tells you where a Mac product is in it's cycle and if now is a good time to buy. |
Here is how to plan for a timeless system. Buy: Fantastic Tube Preamp Fantastic Tube Amp Great Vinyl setup High efficiency speakers All you will ever have to upgrade is your SECONDARY source, be it a CD player, DAC, whatever, the other elements if they are good, will not be obsolete any time soon. Apple has also introduced Airplay which is very cool. But again as long as the above list is good, you will never need radical system changes... What is the rest of your system?? |
