The guy didn't show how he removed the screen glass. I know he used the suction thing, but is the glass glued or screwed to the unit? Anyone?]]>Aug 8th 2007 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/Aug 8th 2007 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/Aug 9th 2007 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/Hmm, maybe that's why the guy in the pictures just pulled the glass off with that suction thing and didn't show/mention anything about removing screws. That's very interesting. Now, at the risk of sounding ignorant, wouldn't all those magnets needed in order to support the weight of the glass be a bit of an issue with the hdd? Hdd is still magnetic media, right? And magnets are also used for erasing magnetically stored media. I'm really curious as to how Apple managed to deal with this potential challenge.]]>Aug 9th 2007 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/Aug 9th 2007 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/

The vast majority of PC users (PC meaning personal computer, Apple or otherwise), see their computers as tools to be used in support of some other activity worth their time and money.

People bitching about expansion need to STFU and realize these systems are for the non-techy who couldn't give less of a shit about tech specs. People who don't know the difference between a GB and a Ghz.
It really is amazing that folks really do have a hard time wrapping their mind around the concept that there are people out there who don't give a shit about how many MB's of VRAM they have in their computer and only care about if the system can do what they want. Yes Billy. there are people who don't care about OCing their system to get a few extra FPS in WoW.]]>Aug 8th 2007 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/Aug 9th 2007 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/Sorry about that little oversight on my part.]]>Aug 9th 2007 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/Aug 9th 2007 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/Aug 9th 2007 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/

Not all mac users are newbies. Many are power users who appreciate the quality of build and design. The simple fact is, Macs don't need to be upgradable. They don't have a rapid depreciation due to operating system upgrades like Windows machines do. Instead, a Mac is designed to last for many years. Older machines remain capable. They don't "get slow" like Windows machines do. The only thing a mac user really needs to add over time is RAM. CPU power just isn't as much of an issue in the Apple world.

As for other peripherals, Macs either come with everything you could possible want, or else it can be added via USB or Firewire.]]>Aug 9th 2007 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/that's why apple introduces updated products every few months...]]>Aug 9th 2007 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/new-imac-disassembled/
