Apple Store: Xserve, 750GB, Apple Care

Beyond the release of the Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, customers have noted some other minor updates to the Apple Store:

- Apple's Intel Xserve is now available for pre-order and shipping is expected by mid-November.
- New packaging for Apple's Apple Care Protection Plan
- The addition of a 750GB hard drive option for the 24" iMac.

Apple's MacBook remains untouched since its initial release in May. Rumors of MacBook updates have been intermingled with the MacBook Pro rumors, with expectations of updates before the holidays.

Cool! The 750 GB HDD option on the iMac is pretty sweet. For a AIO like the iMac, it's nice to see Apple equipping it with options like this (and the 3 GB of RAM) which will extend its longevity. :cool:

Also, nice to see the Xserve is finally available for ordering, I know our lab guys have wanted to pick one up for the longest time.

Apple has also added a 750GB hard disk for the Mac Pro for $399.00 and the 500GB now sells for $199.00 in bay 1. For bays 2 - 4 the prices are $599 and $399.

Xserve lags so far behind the Mac Pro in release, costs much more, has little to make it better and just as much to make it worse. I would love to have an Xserve, but I don't understand why anyone would buy one.

It's for buisnesses. It whouldn't be very practical for an individual. It whould be cool, but damn expensive to maintain for just one person.

The 750 HD option is on the Mac Pro as well as the 24" iMac. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they changed the layout on several of their store pages too.

I believe, for a server, it offers much more. I think it has redundant power supplies, lights-out operation and includes Mac OS X server. Since you obviously don't need those things (since you see no value in them) I don't know why you would want one.

They changed some of the prices slightly (at least the academic versions). But what I can't figure out is that I configured a MacPro changing to 2 gig ram, bluetooth and wifi, wireless keyboard and mouse and somehow saved $2. what an odd amount.

cheers.

I just bought two of those Seagate 750GB drives, so far so good. Won't be long before we get the 1TB drive.
