  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker About what? what you quoted doesn't seem to match what your saying. Did you quote the right phrase because I was talking about SLI. Okay, well, we're thinking the same thing then. Up until recently though,…
  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker More reasons than just that. Anything graphics oriented will be improved significantly all the way down to 2D rendering, and hardware rendering. Highend graphics demanding applications such as 3D apps will hav…
  • Heck, I love the 20" display, I can't even imagine how nice the 30" display would be. One interesting thing regarding the new iMac, saw a 17" model at a local store the other day. Initially I thought that the bezel design was pretty ugly and ver…
  • Quote: Originally posted by kupan787 Is there any advantage to having 2 graphics card slots, other than for gaming? Is there any professional application advantage? On the PC side of the pond, one reason to have multiple graphics cards would …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Relic I have to say I'm not impressed with the video performance on the new iMac. I just bought two for work thinking it they would be fine for content creation on Dreamweaver and Zend. Thing jerks alot when resizing w…
  • Quote: Originally posted by imiloa agreed. i'm honestly impressed with the OQO running XP, which is the antithesis of "lite". haven't played with one live, so this first rev might be clunky and slow. but if so, the fact that it works at all me…
  • I'm hoping to pick up a laptop in the very near future, and I'm not even considering the Powerbooks at this point. Of course, I'm a University student, so budget is definately a factor, but I see little reason to buy a 12" Powerbook instead of a …
  • Quote: Originally posted by cubedcompanies God dangit. This is the only reason i hate apple... I just bought my iBook 12" at the start of the semester... late-August. :c In fairness, I think you're still in pretty good shape with the i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Gavriel Yes this is a very nice update! It makes the iBooks even more affordable. Not only lowering prices but at the same time removing the need to spend additional money adding Airport Extreme. Yup, I agree compl…
  • Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 I think it is fair to say that if the iBooks do get updated without the PowerBooks getting updated at the same time, the next version of the PowerBook is going to be bigger than just a simple speed bump revi…
  • I've been thinking a bit recently, and I wonder if a Transmeta CPU for mobile Mac purposes is a possibility. The reason I mention this is that the TMTA chips emulate x86 in real-time on their VLIW architecture, and their watt/performance ratio bl…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Yevgeny Good article. 2005 is going to be a good year for Apple Laptops when Freescale brings out these chips. Oh wait... Here's to hoping that IBM can cool the 970fx. Not to mention that Summer '05 means Sp…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Dr. J So everything I'm hearing from both all of you and other sources is that iBooks are going to look alittle like so: 12" 1.2Ghz G4 $999 Combo Drive 256MB DDR Nvidia 5200 40GB 3.5" HDD Airport Ext. Capable …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Dr. J Thank you for your reply, but I suppose I needed to be a bit more specific with what I am looking for........ Mainly I would like to know what speculation there is on a low-end iBook coming standard with an airp…
  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave Since the new iMac has the white crystal look, I suspect iBooks will too for awhile yet. I'd like for Apple to go back to similar textures and surfaces like the original iBooks. They seemed more rugged. I've g…
    in new iBook? Comment by chagi October 2004
  • The October update timeframe generally makes financial sense too (specifically for iBooks). Allows Apple to clear out inventories of the current/old model during the back to school season, then they release the new model once said inventories are de…

  • Quote: Originally posted by hardrock I was wondering if anybody new of any new iBook models that are coming out in the near future. I am planning on buying an iBook and i dont want to buy one and then the next month have a new one come out! I…
    in new iBook? Comment by chagi October 2004
  • Something I would like to point out about the warmth of the G5 iMac while being operated is that power supplies alone tend to generate quite a bit of heat, so at least some of the warmth you are experiencing is coming from the integrated power suppl…
