Terrific essay on the new world of journalism.  The headline alone is worth it. Thanks to James for the pointer.

Walt raves about the XPS One. He says, on design

“slightly ahead of the iMac”

Take a look…

He also dings it on a couple of fronts when comparing it to an iMac. While this isn’t a particularly useful comparison for the average PC user.  Does the Mac have better software preinstalled – iLife is a great suite of software, no arguing there. But Adobe is more than adequate and more and more of us are now storing and shari

I’m not with Walt on price. Every time I configure and iMac to a comparable config to the Mac I end-up with a more expensive Mac.

Walt’s a pro and his video is a great way to see the system.
