    in When to buy a MB Comment by allbrain September 2006
  • Ok, I'm in much the same position as Wright_P on this one. I'm looking to jump into MacBook (possibly Pro) ownership and I should probably try and sort this one out in my head: I'm really hankering after an Apple laptop and I'm concerned about th…

  • My first Mac was an Intel iMac, 2.0GHz Core Duo. Was I a little late for the party? However long it took me to get here though, I'm glad I'm here now... Apart from the fact that I work with .NET at work and sometimes have to work from home (…

    in Apple Store time lapse...anything interesting? Comment by allbrain May 2006
  • That's strange. In a slightly good way at least it's not just me (though it sucks that we're having these problems). Any question would be: is it just related to the 20" or is anyone else out there finding it with any other machines?
