C’mon Steve!
On Thursday (July 27) Intel is expected to formally announce their newest line of processors, the Core 2 Duo — codenamed Conroe (desktop) and Merom (notebook). These chips are going to just be insane and because I am such a geek, I am actively waiting for these things to come out. Though something tells me that my wait will continue after Thursday and that is why I am writing this open letter to Steve Jobs.
Dear Steve:
I know you have a lot of stuff coming up Apple wise with the Developer’s Conference in two weeks and the Mac Expo in September. I also know that you saw huge sales and profits last quarter and that’s pretty great and all, but Steve, I have a request. Please release a Conroe powered iMac this week when the chips come out. Don’t wait until WWDC or, more likely, the Mac Expo. People are ready to buy now and don’t want to wait. And if you’re worried about maintaining your huge quarters, don’t be. If you come out with the new Mac Pro’s, MacBook Pro’s and iMac here this quarter then just release the G6 iPod in time for Christmas and you’ll make a killing. Just do this one thing for me, and all those like me, who want to buy a Conroe powered iMac and not have to wait another month or two.
Thanks for the consideration,
Justin Cox
