Quote: Originally posted by EDS66 If it were not for the screen, this would be one kick-ass machine. It's solid, does not vibrate, and the keyboard is to die for. But the screen -- I am sorry to say -- is inferior to most laptop TFTs out there. I…

Many sites (industry and Apple-related) are reporting constrained supplies of LCD screens from all manufacturers. Sucks that Apple didn't have this right from the get-go, because now the repairs are waiting on supply of the LCDs. I only had to wai…

Quote: Originally posted by Nick DTM So is apple likely to replace my screen if I have just one white spot, dead center in the screen? I'm going to go ape-shit if I ship it out for a week and get it back unrepaired! I think it's whether it ha…

I just found a stuck-white pixel. This is the sixth Apple portable I've owned, and the first time I've had any defective pixels. I knew that this would happen after the white spot repair. Oh well, it's not that bad, and certainly not as bad as …

While my newly-repaired PowerBook's new screen is perfect, it did come back with the dreaded latch issue. Luckily, compared to the spots issue, it is easily remidied.

Mine is here. Looks great, as it should. Some notes: Apple put in a new Samsung screen. By pushing on the back of the screen, I can see some of the same pressure points as before, namely #1 and #2 in that "whitespots.jpg" background image p…

Quote: Originally posted by Jukebox Hero Wow. This survey doesn't bode well for powerbooks. Looks like I won't be buying one. From my informal observations of Dells, the incidence of problems is much lower. From my own experiences as well, I'v…

Quote: Originally posted by MCQ Not reallly concerned. No contest with current PowerBooks, as they all have 512K L2 Cache, same as the iBooks. As far as the iMac/eMac, the performance difference on non-Altivec shouldn't be significant, so the…

I saw this interesting tidbit on www.macintouch.com: Quote: Michael Deverich The diamond pattern looks to me like the suction cups a mechanical arm might use during manufacturing the LCD. Makes sense to me. It seems like manufacturers are n…

Quote: Originally posted by Neandertal Well, you've pulled ahead of me, even though they've had my unit longer (since 10/10). Mine is still "Return to repair." No hope that I'll get it back tomorrow. Oh, well. Mine SHIPPED! I'm almost a…

Well, I'm really impressed at what Apple did today. The AOL thing, and Pepsi thing are really going to be big. I can sum up why I'm happy in three words, though. The White Stripes click click click

Mine is now "ready to ship", as of noon today PST. I hope that means that it was actually shipped today (I'm finding that the repairstatus updates run about four hours behind events). It would be really nice to get it tomorrow, but Monday would b…
