  • Apple Should have made it a single 2.0Ghz for the same price... that would sell a lot better. 1.8Ghz is just not sexy enough
  • I don't know what Apple is going to do with the next powerbook upgrade, but what I do know is that the 1.5Ghz G4 is pretty fast. I was playing around with one at our campus bookstore the other day. It was hooked up to a 23" apple display and playing…
  • I can only hope this means new PowerBooks soon...
  • That is a good looking phone. What service do you use and how much did you have to pay for it? And How good are the pictures it takes... like how many megapixels?
  • One other idea. Apple could let you download music from their store directly to your cellphone. Imagine: you are in the car and you hear a song on the radio that you like and really want to hear again. You've all had that experience. Fire up that ap…
  • I will say this: A very large portion of the cellphones on the market at the moment are shit. The Motorola camera flip phones are the only ones that mildly appeal to me and only the v600 has bluetooth. The user interface on most of these phones i…
  • Hey you guys... Have not posted in forever. Is it not possible for the 7447A to go faster than 1.5ghz. You would think by now they would have gotten it to scale a little higher, 1.6ghz at least. Apple could also replace the 7447A with the 7457A. …
  • shit, I need to release. lol
  • I think the reason there are not more powerful graphics cards is mainly because of ADC. Apple is currently locked into ADC because of their monitors. The new flat panels with DVI will come out at WWDC and then 4 or 5 months later, when IBM gets thei…
  • I didn't realize the 9600XT was a joke? I thought it was considered a rather good card. Maybe i'm wrong? What should they be putting in them?
  • The most obvious reason they added liquid cooling was so they could create a less noisy machine. The fans can run slower and less often and people won't get sucked into the machines and killed. Someone was bitching about how all these x86 chips don'…
  • I think all of you need to take some chill pills. Apple probably should not have promised a 3GHz G5 within a year, but IBM obviously made it sound as if they would be at that point. Apple couldn't create a new lineup with no new chips from IBM. Thus…
  • Apple will not name any forth coming chip the G6 until they have a G5 or similar for use in the PowerBooks. In other words, naming any chip a G6 at this time would be marketing madness. The poor G4 would be appear even more outdated and without a cu…
  • lol yea what you look on page 100 to find that thread. lol Good point though, which i happen to agree with. The 12" should include all the features of the 15". Some people just need a small laptop but still need the power.
  • Would not xbench be easier? I'm not doing to ff whatever test cause I am too lazy.... i get 108.6 on a TiBook 1Ghz 1GB RAM and 5400rpm HD.
  • If freescale/motorola come out with a new G4 with a DDR bus, 90nm process, and 1MB L2 cache it's going to cream the celerons. I would order a PowerBook with a chip like this in a second.
  • How much difference is there between the 9200 the 9000 radeon cards? So basically the 12" is going to be substantialy slower at new Games than the 12" just cause of the graphics card, especially if one BTO the 128MB VRAM.
  • All these different graphics cards are confusing to me. How much better is the ATi 9700 than the Nvidia5200? I assume they are both fast enough to play modern games. What kinds of Games are going to need the 9700? You think Doom 3 will play okay on …
  • On the new iMix thing the very first one published was "A few of Steve's favorites." Something tells me this is Steve Jobs playlist... lol It has gotten 100075 5 star votes so far... I just find this funny.
