Quick thoughts CES and Macworld

Very happy with the new 17in Mac Pro 8GB of RAM will be huge (and expensive $1,200 for the upgrade alone)! Though its probably cheaper to just buy and install yourself. I was really hoping for bluray and quad-core processors but I new that was greedy on my part.

Otherwise, I was disappointed with the lack of iMac and especially Mac Mini updates. Hopefully that will change soon.

I'm about half way through watching Ballmers's keynote at CES. Windows 7 looks good but not as good as Apple. Since I like doing some limited gaming I am stuck with Windows. I have avoided upgrading to Windows Vista until Windows 7 comes out later this year or so.

Also the new features in iLife are massive. Especially, Garage band looks awesome with its new lessons for guitar and piano. iWork looks really good too I can't wait to try it out!

Still debating on when I will actually buy a new macbook. I might wait until Snow Leopard comes out because I am positive it will have bluray.
