Apple Fourteen months ago I wrote an editorial, suggesting that Apple should create an ultra cheap machine to battle the PC world. On that article, I suggested some specs for the hypothetical "Strawberry" computer. As technology is moving on fast, I am now updating these specs. To get the idea though, please make sure you read last year's article before you read on this one.

Bad idea

That computer would be everything Apple is against. It leaves out much needed functionality out of the box. The best part about buying a Mac is what you can do with it right after opening it up.

No firewire and no iLife are the worst ideas. Add those two things back in to the mix and maybe it wouldn't be so bad. A switcher should get that wow feeling out of the box with what they can do with no additional software needed.

On the other hand this would be a good machine for Apple to sell to businesses
