Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)

It should go without saying, but...

If you install the Developer Preview, or the Beta that comes out this summer, Logos may stop working. We will be doing everything we can to make sure Logos is compatible with the official final release of OS X 10.10 this fall, but we do not support beta operating system versions.

I have 10.10 installed and Logos 5 seems to be working with no issues although I haven't done to much in it, just a quick check. iOS8 is a different issue. Logos apps apprear to crash when the splash screen loads.

Apple announced their new desktop OS (OSX 10.10) called Yosemite.

My favourite comment (thanks, Gabe):

Very disappointed there was no new hardware announced. I've already waited a long time to get a new computer. I'm not going to stumble along months more. And I'm definitely not going to buy the old Mini they're currently selling. And I don't really want a laptop or an iMac. And although I'm tempted by the Pro, it really bugs me to reward them for not producing a decent cheap computer.

If I could buy the simplest Pro, I'd probably go for it. I have some money coming, I don't need to pay the VAT, and I'm so incredibly tired of trying to work on an inadequate computer, but 256 GB is far too little. Grrr, Apple, I don't like you at all today.[8o|]

(No PC invitations, please. I'm not that angry![:P])

I understand the Apple VAT but the other part of that, it seems to me, is...

The other part of that is that I have to pay VAT when I sell.

You could try "selling" your Mini through one of the on-line trade-in companies.

a) I'm not sure there are any in Sweden. b) I'd get a better price on the Swedish equivalent to eBay. ( c) I'm lousy at emptying computers while they still have value left.[:$])

Why wouldn't you want a laptop or an iMac?

Laptop:

• More money for less computer.
• Too small screen.
• No numerical keyboard.
• Takes up too much space when not used as a laptop.

iMac:

• Fixed screen.

I'm considering a big screen that can be used both for the computer and as TV.

Surely a mini refresh is on the way this summer?

I'm sure new ones will be out before too long... probably before the end of the summer. 

The opinion on the web after the event seemed to be that since it wasn't announced now, it isn't likely to arrive until they can ship it with Yosemite. Though if I buy something, I bet it will arrive within two weeks. Regardless of when I buy.

or its getting the axe. 

I've wondered the same. 

The Pro might not be a bad choice for you

It's funny how we react to money. The Pro feels so incredibly expensive. Then, some months ago, it dawned on me that it actually costs [slightly] less than my car did, is far cheaper to maintain, and would be used many hours a day, while the car is only used a couple of hours a week. Suddenly it seemed a lot more reasonable and defensible. But I would prefer to buy it because I've decided that it's the best choice for me, and not because it's the only choice Apple gives me.

At least they've finally fixed the supply. The shipping is down to 3-5 days.

... I <think> the update will come this year, but it might be near or after Yosemite... 

The last three updates (2010, 2011, 2012) came in June, July and October.

It's fun to speculate and I've been trying to think what they could do to the MacBook Pro and iMac at this point.  No new Intel CPU's in production.  Both platforms have the latest Haswell processors and updated Fusion Drives, better standard memory configurations, etc.  I'm thinking the MacBook Air with Retina is coming.  Minor updates to the iPad with the inclusion of the Touch ID home button.  Larger screen iPhone.

I think those are the things that we will have by this coming October.

Too late for me. I've waited far too long already.

I wish there was a Pro with a 1 TB Fusion Drive.

Surely a mini refresh is on the way this summer?

They just lowered the prices on the current Minis. I think that pretty much rules out a new one before the fall.[:(] And it's already been longer than ever before:

This appears to be just an addition of a lower end model (lower CPU, graphics, and price).  The other two 21" models are the same as there were after the previous refresh.  Makes sense ... should attract more users who can't afford the higher priced models.

What did you end up ordering?
