My dream desktop is a different matter, but of what's currently available, I'm typying on my "Dream Notebook" right now--17" MBP with 7200RPM drive and 2GB RAM.

The only thing I'm missing is a SATA card for the expresscard slot, which I'm going to buy when money isn't so tight.

Not that I wouldn't rather have a Merom, but it's not out yet, so I'm not speccing fantasy.

 

[milozauckerman]

23" iMac, matte black, Conroe or Merom, whichever will remain as quiet and unobtrusive as my current iMac, top-shelf graphics card, two FW800 slots, an eSATA slot, and a card reader for Compact Flash (only CF - SD/xd/etc. users can bite it).

Dear god...

17" inch HD ready screen Macbook Pro
Merom processor which is fast
4 GB DDR2
Dual RAID array with 7200 RPM 120 HD
Quadro chipset graphic card
Futuristic coolant system
ultraslim, ultralight
and an optical drive replacement that makes stupid plastic discs that scratch obsolete!

you said it didn't have to be possible, but I can dream!

My dream Mac right now is really not too far off my iMac. I'd like quad-core or dual dual-core CPUs, an extra hard drive (for video scratch) and that's about the only thing I'd change. A 23" iMac would be cool I guess, but I'm perfectly happy with my 20" screen.

 

[Fredou51]

I am hoping that the next release of the iMac will have a few of these as BTO (not all, I know we won't have all of this):

iMac 23"
Top of the line Conroe (not the Extreme though, the normal version)
4 GB of ram
750 GB HDD
Firewire 800
512 MB VRam
More USB port

 

[livingfortoday]

My dream machine would be capable of love.

Also, it should have at least 2GB of RAM.

 

[batman123]

no apple logo on back

whats wrong with the apple logo? without it it is just a plain boring, notebook...

Batman.

Mac Mini Maxi

Think of it as a Mac Pro Mini! Or rather a mid budget Mac tower. The minis are nice and all but I do like to have a bit more options besides a pint sized computer and a girly AIO

Yep, that pretty much does it for me too.

 

[dextertangocci]

...4 USB 3.0 ports

How fast would that be?

 

[bbrosemer]

But so much of that wasnt real, a 7400 RPM HD...? and isnt the Thinkpad the one with the finger scanner, anyway my dreammachine would have to be a just my current maxed 17'' MBP with a DL Lightscribe Blue Ray (also burns any other DL DVD).

 

[smartalic34]

the MBP I just got yesterday is my dream machine

 

[batman123]

i think some of you have taken the "doesnt have to be real" thing too seriously...
i mean u cant even get some of that stuff in computers leta alone a 13.3 laptop...common...

Batman.

 

[count chocula]

black macbook, 1 gb ram, 120 gb ram and best of all, i'm typing this on it a 17" mbp would be nice, but i love my macbook.

 

[The Grood]

Would really appreciate an iMac that could knock up a decent cheese & ham toastie and a nice cup of tea.

Or have I missed the point?

 

[miniConvert]

A MacBook Pro with integrated 3G Broadband (EV-DO for the states, HSDPA for Europe) would have me swiping my credit card faster than you can say Steve Jobs.

I guess all that could trump that would be a top-spec Woodcrest powered Mac Pro with noodles of RAM.

 

[law guy]

A black anodized aluminum 12" PB (still a PB to me...) with Intel 64bit dual core chip... still waiting for that one. 256 MB of VRAM, 4 GB of ram. FW 400 a must, FW 800 - would be nice.
