  • It does click per se, but when it's clicked down, the sensors within the mouse register if you're left- or right-clicking. The click sounds as the mouse shell literally "clicks" down like the Apple Pro Mouse, but the side triggers have artificial c…
  • Unless you REALLY want a MBP, I wouldn't get it. Your PowerBook is fine enough. Actually, it's an amazing machine and there's no point in getting rid of it so soon. If I were you, I'd wait for Rev. B (at the least) to get it.
  • He means don't post threads that have already been done.

  • If you really want to, take your iBook down to the nearest Apple Store and see if a Genius can look at it. They might be able to fix it for cheap. If you don't want to, it might be worth taking just to see if there's any internal damage that you d…
  • Right now, I wouldn't worry about virus protection if you're a consumer. The only people who say there are currently dangerous* viruses for Mac OS X are Mac OS X antivirus writers, and they're full of crap. If a Mac OS X virus ever were to pop…

  • Quote: Originally posted by mmorrissette I was just wondering if it is possible to hook a powerbook or a macbook up to a tv, to play DVD's in my dorm room, or will I need a dvd player. If not its, cool, they are pretty cheap now, I was just wonde…
  • I'm not surprised. It's a new chip, and most of these bugs can be fixed by software. However, ALL chips have bugs and some that are currently out have more than this.
  • Quote: Originally posted by psziel Thanks for the quick reply. I do think they know what they have, even tried to let me see one to type the serial # in on the warrenty page to see if it comes up late 2005 model. I knew about the restocking fee. …
  • Apple has been sending out both 1.42 and 1.5 GHz models that are supposed to have 1.42 GHz processors as well as both 1.25 and 1.33 GHz models that are supposed to have 1.25 GHz processors. I believe this was caused by a shortage of 1.42/1.25 GHz G…
  • MacBook Pros and iMac Core Duos both support a/b/n/g - though Apple doesn't say it. Source (though there have been other reports from more trustworthy sources... I just can't look for them right now.)
  • This is amazing. I've been worrying about battery life ever since I ordered my MBP on the 10th. Thank you so much, because now I don't have to worry. So what are we looking at now? 4 hours real-time? SJ said it should have similar batte…

  • Quote: Originally posted by lundy There might be some documentation on the Apple Support pages. Historically, you did not have to do much more than lift up the keyboard and remove a couple of tiny screws to install RAM in an Apple notebook. …
  • Once my MacBook Pro and Universal versions of the below come out, they'll be: Safari iLife iWork The Sims 2 Civilization IV :P How original!
  • Quote: Originally posted by Anders They will probably have demonstration models at the stores when they start shipping. But it is very unlikely that you can buy one to bring home. Actually, the way they put out demonstration models is: a) Ta…
  • Quote: Originally posted by thegreatluke Does anyone know when this is coming out? I'm not sure of the date. Any general timeframes? Aspyr said that they're porting the Sims 2 to Universal first, but I don't know how long it will actually ta…

  • Apple is generally conservative when they quote shipping dates. When my brother ordered his iPod 5G, they quoted him a week for SHIPPING. Then he received it three days later. Has anyone ever had a time where the order is pushed FORWARD? When …
