[QUOTE="Adric, post: 1468967, member: 245480"] I was thinking about getting an iPad pretty soon but I think I'm going to wait a while longer because Intel's next generation processor lineup "Haswell" is designed from the ground up to get phenomenal battery life out of mobile devices (Haswell is slated to use roughly 20% of the power that Sandy Bridge architecture uses). I wouldn't be surprised if Apple starts using them in their iOS devices and I want to wait and see if they do. As for the iMac, forget it if it's a power PC based iMac. At the very least get an Intel model or it will be practically useless if you want to do anything other than listen to music/browse the web. I would buy a Windows machine over a PPC based Mac.
