they did that with the g5 and it was total shit.

not even close - those pcie ssds are DRAM fronted (fusion io)

I'll agree a cylinder isn't a good shape for space efficiency, but I bet it has a lot to do with thermal efficiency as evacuating a cylinder is much easier than a rectangular prism.

I just wanted to say that I broke down and bought the 15" Macbook Pro Retina..

It is AMAZING. I got a refurbished one from apple and it looks brand new. You would never know it wasn't brand new. It is the fastest computer I've ever owned...

i don't know if this is the best thread, but I am considering purchasing my first mac (probably an iMac), how hard is the transition from Windows. Does Windows 8 run well enough on an iMac to do some basic Autocad and Lightroom work? The wife likes macs but all my software is WIndows and I like Windows 8 a lot, I've only used a Mac a couple times. She needs to do Photoshop but I think the iMac can handle what she needs.

I did the switch 2 years ago. It's not that big of a switch. Well, the first 2 months I was sorta let down. Steve Jobs was a genius marketer. The iMac is a great computer, but it's still a computer.

When I first got it I was frustrated that I couldn't customize the settings like a Windows PC. Hell, I can't even remember exactly what I wanted to do... But I'm really happy that I made the switch.

One thing I will warn you is that Outlook fucking sucks for Mac. I was told it's Microsoft's fault. They don't want to give everything to the Mac user.

If you're getting an iMac, I highly suggest you get the 27", so you can add RAM.

Entourage was a piece of shit email client--- the worst I've ever used. Outlook 2011, however, is pretty awesome, and I have very few complaints about it. That said, I haven't used the windows version in many years, so I may not even know what I'm missing.

However, the efficacy of Outlook is only important in the context of corporate email/calendaring. If this is a personal machine, there are many other options that slay Outlook and are specifically geared towards personal use.

I probably wouldn't even load Outlook on this unless she needed it for something, I just haven't looked at running Windows on a Mac in years and wasn't sure if it ran seamlessly.

(if I got one it would definitely by the 27")
