That does not sound like a very agreeable set of "upgrades" at all!

Bah and humbug!

 

Yeah. 

Basically the only good news are better graphic cards (if you pay the extra), the power of the octo-core nehalem (if you need it) and the mini. Everything else is really, really meh. Specially the quad-core mac pro: it's gone from cpu cost + 1200$ to cpu cost + 2000$ (aprox), which means they could be selling it at 1800$ instead of 2400$ and still make a hefty profit. To give you an idea, the dell precision with a garden-variety nehalem clocked at same speed (without support for EEC memory, but that's relatively minor) retails below 1000$. 

I'm set with my late 2007 imac for a while, but if this trend continues... 

 

Then you're going to build a hackintosh? (just guessing)

 

 

Shrug... I really like OSX but hackintosh's lack the trouble-free approach that's so likeable about their computers, you know being one single corporation making the hardware and the software.
