I bought my first new Apple G4 during Macworld in San Francisco earlier in the month of January. Gee, does anyone know if this company offer free upgrades to anyone who plunked down 2K for a 15″ notebook within 30 days of this fabulous upgrade worth at least a few hundred dollars?

Wait! Don’t tell me, let me guess…

At least Apple is adding some other features with the new lines, rather than just giving a couple hundred Mhz more and dropping a couple hundred dollars in price.

They add a few spiffy features and give it what is a nearly negligible speed bump from the perspective of the end users. I guess it isn’t just the PowerBooks either. The iBooks and eMac’s haven’t seen much in terms of speed or feature growth either and other than being a bit faster in the CPU the Mac mini is pretty much the same old tech that we have had to choose from for the last few years. It is time for some major upgrades across the board.
