using imac 17" as a laptop
I was just looking through the specs of the new imac and the 17inch comes in at 15.5 pounds, I know that is very heavy by laptop standards but if you could get a case like radtechs mac truck and attach the keyboard to the lid would'nt you have a pretty nice 20 pound g5 laptop. minus the battery of course but I always have a plugin anyway.
hmmmmm food for thought, all you would need is a really nice back pack and you would be set.
how durable do you think this machine would be for transport, does the stand detach easily or is it built in to it.
only 1299

i had no idea HD even came that size yet.
Jeez
Apparently a defrag app is needed if you're dealing with massive amounts of data.
and what's it do?

My understanding is that after a while files get broken up, fragmented and stored on different parts of the HDD this makes the computer run slow, windoze users have to defraggment every so often, but I all thought OS X did it on the fly especially when you have file vault running
Hmmmm...
>>You'd have to worry about cracking the LCD.
[fix:] by getting some plexy glass to temporarily cover it. 5 $.
>>Keyboard could be clunky to carry around.
[fix:] get role-up rubber kb from, say oh, COMPUSA. 20 $.
>>If you want portability...that would mean an APC unit.
[fix:] this wouldn't even be an option. You'd need to wrig up a battery pack that is thinner, and preferably contained always in the backpack itself.
>>Something awesome? 12" iMac wide-screen.
[fix:] Apple should make one, and see what happens. I'd imagine places like the kitchen can use a kiosk, and people can get more frills from putting them in their backpacks as portable desktop computers. It would be like macmini, except it would be an iMacMini G5 that could have a place in your entertainment stand, small dorm desk, and hearts.
buh.
-walloo.
