I think what's really telling in this instance is that even from you, who openly hates me, who openly hates Apple, regardless of whether or not you think it's practical, you agree.

 

But you still haven't said why! The only compelling examples of this by PC companies both suck: the NUC and the Gigabyte Brix Gaming. The NUC is barely powerful enough for anything and the Gigabyte Brix has temperature control issues. 

I don't hate you; I just find you annoying. It's really hard for me to hate someone. Hell, even saying that I hate Apple is a little strong...

I am annoying...I'll give you that. I just have too much free time on my hands these days.

 

I should really just start coding something and leave for awhile. It makes me feel guilty posting here when I could be doing something productive.

I might be wrong but didn't the Mac mini came out first that the nuc if so it's backwards then

 

Yup, the Intel NUC launched using Intel Sandy-bridge thanks to the onboard IGP. The first Mac Mini was using IBM Power PC G4, a good few years before Intel's attempt.

Yeah no...not possible to get it lower cost. ATI gave them a deal on the graphics so it's not possible to get cheaper.

 

Also the Mac Mini came first so au contraire, the NUC copied the Mac Mini if you even want to call that copying...they're entirely different devices.

 

If it was so easy then why did nobody do it before Apple? The answer is simple: they didn't care. Nobody cares about innovation for progress' sake anymore except them save maybe Lenovo and Dell. The market was stagnant, they disrupted it, QED. Plain and simple. I haven't even made any judgments on whether or not it's a good machine. You remain convinced that it's easy to do even though the Brix failed epically at attempting basically the same thing.

 

I'm done here. Builder out.

You think Apple is the only one who can wheel and deal? Order enough in bulk and you can negotiate prices.

 

Dell innovates?

Are you? You do know GPUs are just soldered to the graphics cards they're on. You can remove them and put them back on and retain all functionality.

 

You're too stupid to insult. Fascinating.

The real question is. Will the macbook air get a non-2010 1600x900 display?

 

I would buy it then. I have held off on it because of the shitty display (67% sRGB!)

I wonder what type of graphics card they will put into the retina imac. It better be something good, or else it will actually be a $2000+ facebook machine. (assuming its 4k)

But here's where you mistake it to be a mobile GPU and not some insane setup like in the Mac Pro.

Not necessarily. Even if they do they could SLI two 880Ms and that would be one fucking setup now wouldn't it?

That would be pretty cool....but how would they get it so thin, and keep it cool? It would take a LOT of smart people. :P

It has two meanings:

 

-They have enough smart people, i.e. they're not lacking smart people over there

-They aren't physically short smart people, i.e. They are tall smart people over there
