  • I can't think of a single reason they couldn't put search in the original 5G. It can play the new higher resolution h.264 content from the iTS, play games, etc. If the search was based on a FILE system search, the old style, I might be inclined to…
  • Definitely NOT HAPPY about the SOFTWARE update NOT including the SEARCH function, C'MON APPLE!
  • I can't seem to find the search function on my original 5G, am I missing something? It seems like this should be included in the SOFTWARE update. Apple, if you're listening: long time hardware, software, peripheral, iTMS customer; I AM NOT HA…
  • I would think they would make a big deal out of it being their first 64-bit laptop (just for marketing, for-go the "tiger isn't full 64-bit", "64-bit only makes a difference in some apps" arguement). I'd imagine they'd make as bid a deal about the …
  • Thanks for the input, David. I looked at the specs, the numbers make one look better than the other for obvious reasons, but I'm questioning real world performance. I do a lot of browsing, some iPhoto & iTunes stuff, occasionally encode a mo…

  • Guess we're not likely to get an Airport Express A/V now, huh?
  • Of course that line of thinking assumes the processor is the only place there is added cost when using a duo instead of solo

  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Dual Link DVI was in the last Powerbooks I don't think we're going to see FW800. Intel doesn't have any plans to add it to their controllers. I'd rather see eSATA Hell yeah, eSATA has less (no?) over…
  • There's sure to be an Apple sponsored prank of some sort.

  • so now we just have to hope intel doesn't pull anohter "pentium will reach 10GHz!" but about power consumption so we finally get a 64-bit powerbook this year
  • I venture there is a good reason Apple didn't use the fastest core duo processor available. Perhaps stability? Availability? Who knows. There could be a new product coming shortly that WILL use the top spec--like the 17" (that seems kinda obvious/…
  • What's the latest news on the merom (hope i spelled that right) based chips due this year? Isn't that supposed to be a dual-core chip but 64-bit instead of 32? What're the chances it'll make it into a MB Pro before year-end? edit: just realized…
  • my curiosity is definitely up; like to see how they pull this one off (that is, of course, if it's true, could be purpose leaked mis-information ) (is anyone counting the days yet? )
