Brutal Apple Banners.
Apple is announcing a $2499 desktop.
“8 fully buffered DOIMMs, an incredible design and beautiful, simple access to it all. We’ve had a lot of fun building great configurations for our customers. One standard configuration… Dual 2 2.66 dual core Xeons, 1 GB, 667 MHz FB-DIMM. 250GB HD. Nvidia geforce 7300GT, 256 MB and 16xc superdrive for $2499. I know what you’re thinking. Apple makes the best computers but they’re expensive. We’re going to bust that myth. Similar configuration about a thousand dollars less than Dell.”
Rofl. The cheap mac is here.

…Oh, I’m sorry, you were trying to impress me with how $2.5k is cheap.
Nothing to see here, people, move along.

“I’m not an computer enthusiast at all, don’t understand Macs and I’ve never looked at Dell’s offerings in the same class. Also, I don’t know what an iMac is. In other words, I’m judging before knowing … like a racist. Also, I’m a racist.”

OSX would come free on the new box. Every year it’s $150 to upgrade. But you don’t have to.

To me it’s just comparing Faberge Eggs to a Ming Vase. I like Macs, but to say “all this great stuff for only $2500″ has no meaning to me since all I will ever buy are computers that cost ~$1,000-2,000. Your cheap is still my expensive, is all I was saying.

I don’t give a shit how much the annual OS X upgrade costs me as long as it keeps my hard earned money out of the hands of needy kids worldwide. Fuck them and the horses they couldn’t afford to ride in on. Stupid kids.
