Why hasn't Apple released 'Power' perpherals? How can you spend 3k++ and get a beautiful SILVER PowerMac and a beautiful SILVER flat screen with the consumer/white keyboard and mouse?? Are they going all silver or are they staying with white=consumer and silver=power? If so, they really need to release a silver keyboard and mouse. Am I the only one complaining? And yes, i realize there is 3rd party products but why should I spend more $ when I just spent several thousand?

Don't know how to wind this up 'cept to say bring on the elegantly designed peripherals line up to match your Pro machines. It's not a big ask, and it should have happened ages ago. :grumble:

I agree that they should match....

Have you watched Qicktime VR of the new display? The keyboard and mouse don't really look white to me... :\

It's one of those paradoxes...

At least the displays now match.

Years ago, Apple really went out of its way to make the hardware look good. Each of the colored iMacs had its own set of matching colored keyboard and mouse.

Then the Pro Mouse and Pro Keyboard were released. To date, I must say these are Apple's best-looking and best-working mouse and keyboard. They were both sleek, shiny, and black. The old Pro Keyboard had something important that is desperately missing from the current Apple keyboards: an adjustable height. As long as it keeps working, I'm taking my old Pro Keyboard and using it with the next Mac I purchase.

(not an English format keyboard; just the first image I found)

:\ C'mon Apple. Get back to work on a decent replacement.
