With the right motherboard and components its easy. The only difficult bit is finding a suitable bluetooth adaptor for a apple keyboard and mouse. The Belkin one from PC world is fine....

Likewise retina iPad mini is exactly what people wanted, likewise with the Macbook Pro Haswell refresh.
The new retina 13" MBP is relatively cheap for the power and features that it packs.
So nothing revolutionary, but a good update.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostThe iPad looks like a pretty big refresh though. The CPU/GPU increase is substantial to say the least and considering how slick the current model is, I am really interested to see the new one in the flesh... dropping the weight by a third and making it that thin is pretty impressive.
However, this isn't worth an event. What else have they announced?
edit: iPad Mini Retina... about time
And hold up, OSX is free?
