The Official Apple Thread
You must login or register to view this content.
Greetings. This is 'the' official Apple thread. The purpose of this thread is to allow a place for civilized and constructive discussion on Apple products. Ranging from things like reviews, updates, news, and etcetera are all viable discussions in this thread. I'll do my best to keep this thread updated and maintained, and will put up the occasional poll to see where the community stands on certain things. So let's get started, shall we?

Essentially this will serve as a resource.

You can still make your own threads, he just wanted to make one big resource thread for people to refer to :p
What he said. Just say you have a question or a sort. Come into this thread and make sure it hasn't already been discussed before making a thread. If not, ask it in here or make your own thread.

I upgraded my RAM a while back. I suppose for someone who is more tech savvy, Macs aren't the best. However when you're someone like me who is looking for nice, simple online experience without any need of down to the wire upgrades, Macs are the way to go.

Has anyone downloaded the Developer Preview 2 for Mac OS X Lion? I recently did. Looking to see if anyone has any thoughts on it.
