I'll do all the usual stuff; consuming media (my iTunes-DB holds around 7000 songs), surfing the web, editing photos (PS and iPhoto), editing movies (but not that much), I want to build my own website. Nothing special, so to say. For this the MB…

I'm on the verge of buying a MB or a MBP. Right now I'm tempted to buy the MBP base-model with 250GB HD and upgrade the RAM to 4GB myself. Does the decrease in L2-cache make that huge of a difference? Seriously. I do understand the importance …

When? This is my only question. Sorry but I don't want to be the person who buys a MBP and watches as exactly 15 days later the new and improved MBP is released. Do. Not. Want.

Don't let yourself get confused by all those acronyms. A "SSD" is like a harddrive made of flash-storage. A conventional HD uses spinning platters. Just think of it as an overlarge CompactFlash-Card, or a SecureDigital-Card, the ones people use…

Nicely made, but i don't like it. It just doesn't look as sleek as things designed by Apple. Meh. Also: If this really was the real thing, Apple should have improved their USB 2.0 performance dramatically, because on it's other notebooks it …

@solipsism Yes, that's what I've heard, too. And since I already have tried the handwriting recognition that MS has been using since they introduced the tablet... I've spent some time with a Compaq TC1100 and liked it. I believe the Modbook is…

I just wanted to express my mourning on the non-probability of the Mac Tablet. That was the rumor that thrilled me most of all. It would just be so damn usefull in class. Please don't let me down on the thin new notebook. Because the only thi…

Ok, I've talked to a very friendly Apple technician over in Ireland. He checked his database on the specs of the current superdrives. No Superdrive since the switch to Intel seems to support DVD-RAM. More clearly: Current Superdrives do neithe…

@Marvin data security FTW! When I buy my Apple laptop after the upcoming Macworld it'll look like this: 250GB to 320GB internal HD 750GB to 1TB external HD via FW400 or FW800 (if available) 120GB ext. 2.5" HD via FW400/800 or USB2.0 for small …

Thanks aegisdesign. I knew some of it, because my father is an engineer at Opel and have a few insights on car-production, but that I didn't know. Also I falsely thought of units like Rockwell, which I know a bit of, because I was interested in kn…

Hi there. I'm about to make the so called 'switch' and therefore very interested in everything that has to do with Macs. Just thought I'd chime in with some modest wishes for the upcoming MacWorld: MacBook's: Superdrive in base-model; 120GB HD as …
