Mossberg: Macs Not Cheap, but Good Values

The WallStreet Journal's Walter S. Mossberg says:

'It's time for my annual fall PC buyer's guide.

'But this autumn, we find ourselves in a serious global economicslowdown. So I will focus this edition of the guide on how folks whosePC budgets have shrunk can still get something adequate for lightuse..

'I consider the Mac operating system, Leopard, to be faster, easierand more stable than Windows XP or Windows Vista. It isn't susceptibleto the vast majority of malicious software that circulates on theInternet..

'However, Apple has consciously chosen not to offer machines in thebargain category. The cheapest Mac desktop, the minimalist Mac mini, which doesn't even includea monitor, speakers, keyboard or mouse, costs $650 for a model with ahard disk I consider adequate. The cheapest Mac laptop, the base modelof the prior-generation MacBook (which Apple hasretained in its lineup) is $999.

'Both are good values, mainly due to the software. And Macs can saveyou money over time. But if the lowest upfront cost is your objective,you can pay hundreds less for desktops and laptops from Windows PCmakers..'

Mac mini Fans: Hang in There

AppleInsiderreports:

'Apple appears to be taking its policing of the rumor mill to thephones, in one case dialing a customer who expressed concern overInternet reports on the Mac mini's fate to assure him the situationwould be addressed in due time.

'Having read a blog post speculating that a discontinuation of thecurrent Mac mini line overseas may be indicative of the product'sultimate demise, one advocate of the tiny desktops fired off an emailwith his concerns to Apple's newly-crowned Mac hardware engineeringchief Bob Mansfield.

'Although Mansfield didn't issue a personal reply, a colleague inApple's executive care division did almost immediately, offering notimetable for a Mac mini update but assuring that the company was wellaware of system's market value, and suggesting the customer continue toexercise patience.'

Editor's note: The Mac mini was last updated in August 2007, andApple has announced that there will be no new Macs until 2009.dk

Quad-core Nehalem (i7) 'Blows Everything ElseAway'

The Guardian'sJack Schofield reports:

'Intel's long-awaited Nehalem processor has hit the net with a bang,and ChannelWebsays it is 'so powerful that it simply destroys previous CPUbenchmarks. An early look at the company's new chips shows they havethe potential to drive current data center-class performance onto thedesktop. Early results show nearly historic levels of improvement overprevious generations of processors.'

'Indeed, YoYoTech, a UK-based supplier, has just announced 'thefastest, single-processor, production machine ever,' on SPECbenchmarks. Its Fi7ePower MLK1610 (sic) has an Intel Core i7 965processor and 9 GB of high-performance Corsair DDR3 memory on anAsus P6T motherboard, and looks like an 8-core system (withhyperthreading) to your standard 64-bit Vista..'

Editor's note: Nehalem is designed from the ground up as a 4-coreCPU. Each core has its own L1 cache and 256 KB L2 cache, and the entireCPU shares an 8 MB L3 cache. With hyperthreading, it can act likean 8-core CPU. The new CPU officially ships on Nov. 19 at speeds up to3.2 GHz and will very likely be in the next generation Mac Pro andXserve. dk

How Much Ink Is Left in That Dead Cartridge?

PC World'sJeff Bertolucci reports:

'You've probably had this experience: Your printer tells you it'stime to change the cartridge, but you dismiss the message and keepprinting. Days or weeks later, you're still using the same cartridgeand thinking to yourself that rumors of its death were greatlyexaggerated.

'Or perhaps your printer simply shuts down when it decides you'vegone deep enough into its ink well, refusing to operate until youreplace the cartridge, though you suspect there's plenty of inkleft.

'PC World decided to do some real lab testing on this issue; and theresults confirm what you may have suspected: Many manufacturer-branded(OEM) and third-party (aftermarket) vendor cartridges leave a startlingamount of ink unused when they read empty. In fact, some inkjetprinters force users to replace black ink cartridges when the cartridgeis nearly half full, PC World has found..

'Test Center results show that models from Canon, Epson, and Kodakreported ink cartridges as being empty when in some cases the tanks had40 percent of their black ink remaining..

'The quantity of unused ink ranged from about 8 percent in anEpson-brand cartridge to a whopping 45 percent in an aftermarketcartridge for a Canon printer. After posting low-ink warnings, thoseprinters wouldn't let us resume printing until we inserted a newcartridge..

'An average black-ink cartridge contains 8 milliliters of ink andcosts about $10 which translates into a cost of $1.25 per milliliter(or more horrifyingly, $1250 per liter)..

'I personally think that consumers are getting ripped off,' saysSteve Pociask, president of the American Consumer Institute, anonprofit educational and research institute in Washington, DC.'

Editor's note: We can't recommend laser printers enough. Laser toneris much less costly per page than ink and needs to be replaced far lessoften, and it doesn't dry out like ink tends to do. Black & whitelaser printers start at under $100, and some color laser printers sellfor under $300. We've been using Brother b&w lasers and a Magicolorcolor laser printer at Low End Mac headquarters for some time and stillhaven't used up the original toner cartridges. A color toner set isn'tcheap ($220 for our Magicolor), but you may be able to find a localvendor who refills toner cartridges - or try your hand at refillingyour spent toner cartridges. dk
