$999 forthe 27" display and $799 for the 24 now..

 

Now if I can find a buyer for my 30" Dell LCD, I may just pick up the the 27" to put alongside my iMac.

 

I'll take it.

 

Ohh and :ibyumcha:

 

I like that the new iMac can simultaneously support an internal SSD and internal hard disk. That's sweet.
(Looks like only the 27" supports that)

 

How much you willing to pay for it?

 

34.50!

 

magic Trackpad is just a bigger trackpad designed to be used with a desktop instead of a mouse.

I'm thinking about getting one for my mom cause her mouse is teh suck! I'm not sure if she'll like it though.

The 27in display is interesting, I'm curious to see how it compares to my Dell U2711 monitor.

 

That's how much shipping alone would run!

 

$70 is hella expensive for a trackpad. But the damn mouse is $70 too.

 

Don't be so cheap...!

 

I want the apple rechargeable batteries!!!

 

I was being cheap???

 

It's in our nature Anil. We can send gifts to one another, but we can never do business with one another.

Asian people want to take all of your money and Indian people want to keep all their money

 

I'm doing it wrong because I want to spend all my money.

 

It's okay, you're still true to me.

 

Thanks Connie.

 

They didn't have any magic trackpads on display or 27" displays on display () when I went to the apple store

 

I want the magic trackpad!

 

apparently it works with windows too.. but what you can actually do.

ok

i can see the 30" going out because its been around for a long time. but the 24" as well?

 

I swung by the Apple store on the way home to see the trackpad but they didn't have it in stock and he didn't know when it would be there. I'll check back thursday.

 

Makes sense to me. If they aren't offering a 24" iMac, why make a screen to match that size. Making the 27" screen server multiple purposes because 1) it's a 16x9 format 2) it can be used for both the iMac 27" as a secondary monitor and match up properly in vertical resolution, and also be used as the primary monitor for the mac pro or the mac mini. If they are still going to be making a 21" display, then it definitely makes sense because it matches up with the 21" iMac as well.


Since I got my iMac I've been wanting a second monitor for it but didn't bother, until now, because couldn't find a 27" that matched up nicely with it. long term, I think it's a good choice for them.

 

then why did they evne bother making the 30" display. there were never any 30" imacs.

i thought they more of an accessory.

 

I've been excited about this thing since the rumors about it started months ago.

I love my trackpad on my MBP and always wanted the same feature for my iMac...the magic mouse was a good hold me over...but I'm ready for the real deal.

And the new iMacs with dedicated graphics cards

 

The Multi-touch Trackpad update is out also which adds kinetic scrolling to previous models that didn't have this feature so check software update for that as well.

If you want to enable it for Windows as well you can download that here

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4273

that link also lists what gestures are and aren't enabled in Windows

 

its not called kinetic scrolling.

its called "inertial scrolling"

 

thanks for the link.

so if i wanted to i could replace my mouse with it.

only problem i would have is no more back button, since i can't do the 3 finger swipe to go back or forward.

 

yeah I knew it didn't sound right when I typed it but I didn't feel like checking

 

I wouldn't do it. The lack of all the features in Windows make it not worth it and it's not like Windows can't support those features it's just that they aren't implementing them. I can't live with out my back or forward button.

 

 

When the 30" Cinema Display first came out, was it possible to hook it up to the iMac available at the time or in subsequent year models? When did iMacs first start having the ability to have a secondary monitor hooked up to them? I'm not very familiar with the older iMacs so that's why I'm asking.

To answer your question, my guess is because not many people wanted to hook up a secondary display and there was a time with bigger was seen as better so everyone wanted a 30". Could Apple have made a 30" that was in a 16x9 format, probably, don't know why they went down to a 27" size.

 

Don't mind not having forward, but no back button is like having to crawl when you know how to walk.

 

Too bad that there doesn't appear to be a away to attach the magic pad to the keyboard. Duct tape worked for the iphone, maybe for this too.

 

The apple store in Tampa has the magicpad in stock but NOT out on demo! I'm in line about to buy one strait cash, son!!!!

 

A little smaller than I expected

Installing the drivers now



you need the drivers to enable all the multitouch features cause they aren't working out of the box. yes it's on snow leopard 10.6.4

 

Paired up with my 15 inch MBP for another size comparasion.

 

I'm liking this trackpad. It's a much better experience than the mighty mouse it is replacing. I noticed that while I mouse with my right hand I definitely track with my left so the fact that this is wireless and I can move it from right to left is nice.

I wonder how well this trackpad is a doing precisions stuff like photoshop editing or FPS gaming. Usually trackpads aren't that good at that but with it's larger size it might not be that bad. I don't think I'll be able to test that though.

I've made my mom switch cold turkey, I took her mouse away from her and she is banned from using it. I don't think she's ever used a trackpad before, even when she had a PowerBook as her main machine she still always had a mouse attached to it. We'll see how it goes, I think she'll get used to it and like it.

 

I would have nowhere to put it.
