  • I've had Lapzilla (my 17" PowerBook) since they first shipped. The first one they sent me had a row of pixels stuck (green). I sent it back to Apple's engineering department (first return of a 17" PowerBook I was told) and they sent me a new one. …

  • One of my favorite features of this laptop is the need to very seldom restart. When I'm thru working for the day, I close it and disconnect everything. Then off I go with my "office in a bag". When I get to the office in the morning, I connect a…
  • Quote: Originally posted by JC the irony that spelling and "idiot" do not always go together. OK, have you ever heard about that right and left brain thing. I am a creative, I draw, paint and write. When i am in my creative mode i do not spel…
  • Just wanted everyone to know that since replacing that bad RAM chip, my 17" has been performing wonderfully. I just finished editing an animation in iMovie and wrote it to DVD for a presentation to our biggest client's Board of Directors. Everyone i…
  • I looked on MacNN and Apple but didn't find any forums about Apple Hardware Test giving false results on RAM tests. I don't doubt they are there, but my quick look didn't find them. Anyway, I installed the new RAM and it passed the test. I have o…
  • Quote: Originally posted by catalyst There's nothing wrong with your RAM; it's the test. No kidding! Read this on MacNN forums and Apple's own discussion forums. I haven't read this yet, but I'll search now. Thanks for the tip. I do beli…

  • Sorry, forgot to mention the fan noise. Or lack thereof. My PowerBook seems to run warm at best. Even after hours of continual use it never seems hot. I think heat dissipation is very good on this unit and if you use it in a cool environment it w…
  • I'm sitting here in front of my 17" PowerBook and must say the screen is amazing. I have a very nice Sony Wega TV, and I think watching DVDs on my PowerBook is much clearer. I also find the screen perfect for everything I do. I have my 21" Apple …
  • I'm certainly glad to hear than the 970 is running ahead of schedule. And while I doubt it will appear in both the PowerMac and PowerBook at the same, I eagerly wait for both. Has anyone else noticed that Moki has been unusually quiet lately? Any…
  • Lapzilla has been nothing but a headache for me. I had to return my first unit because the screen was defective (about 800 pixels stuck green). This second one crashes and has been having problems with the window server (not a Windows file server - …
  • Personally, I really like the scenario you paint in your post. I'm a big fan of the Table idea and hope apple eventually builds one. Well, not eventually, how about now? But my situation would be a bit different. As an architect and 3D modeler, I…
  • Yesterday morning, my 17" PowerBook started exhibiting a strange and alarming behavior. While I was working, the screen turned blue for about a second, then black for about a second, then came back to the finder, but no applications were running. I …
  • I must say, this thing is freaking fabulous! Best laptop I've ever used, by far. TBoxman
  • I called Apple this morning to check on my replacement PowerBook. After waiting on hold and speaking with two different people, I was told that there was nothing in the system about my return unit yet. They said everything that could be done to spee…
  • This time I figured squeaky wheel gets the grease, so I called AppleCare Support again to tell them my PowerBook was on it's way to California and to complain about the 4-7 day waiting period. The specialist I spoke to said once the package had been…
