  • If you really want to save a few coins, keep an eye on the special deals section of apple's website. You can get the Airport Extreme card for $79.00 refurbed.

  • I will keep you posted. Thanks for the compliments, I am pleased with it despite the issues.
    in Powerbook 15" Refurb Unpacking Pictures Comment by rsgunther March 2004
  • Hey, I have had both the ibook G4 12" & the powerbook G4 12". The powerbook is much faster (1GHZ vs 800MHZ). The powerbook has bigger cache on the processor also. The powerbook is of a better build quality. They are both about the…

    in Opinion of the Dual 1.8 Comment by rsgunther February 2004
  • My wife an I recently needed to purchase a Powerbook. We were trying to decide between the 12" and the 15" Alu. I had never seen them in person before, so I went to the closest store (about 90 miles away) to see them. Even though I paid a good bi…
    in Apple's laptops...cheap looking Comment by rsgunther February 2004
  • I just got a new laptop from work with integrated wireless. I had bought the ibook for surfing at home & such... anyway, work gave me a new IBM T40 thinkpad loaded to the hilt with DVD CDRW & such.. not that I want an ibm, but it is a top n…
    in iBook G4 800 640MB Airport Extreme Applecare for sale! Comment by rsgunther November 2003
  • updated from original post: I have had my ibook G4 12" 800 for about 3 weeks now. Ordered it the day after they were released & got it the following week. I removed the 128MB RAM, and installed a 512MB from crucial. I also installed airpor…

  • I have been using this new ibook 800 for a few days... it runs very cool.. it is cooler than my old ibook 700 or my tiBook 800... also -- it doesn't have any issues with stability (not crashed yet), and it always wakes up from sleep.. have only r…
    in New iBook 12" 800 Comment by rsgunther November 2003
  • I had an IBM thinkpad from my office. It has had the screen replaced 2 times due to white spots. I got upgraded & gave the old one to one of my managers (work for me), anyway, new IBM thinkpad doesn't have these issues. But it was a pretty co…

    in iBook Set up? Need some help Comment by rsgunther October 2002
  • IMHO - Don't get caught up in the hype. In real world use, you will barely see a difference between the 667 & 867. Unless you are using the machine very intesively for photoshop work, etc.. I wouldn't recommend the switch. If you use the mach…
    in will the 867 will be noisier than the 667 Comment by rsgunther November 2002
  • hey, I would like to have one that I can use on my lap. The tibook 800 gets pretty hot, and I would like to have something to sit it on, I usually use it on my lap. Any suggestions / websites?
    in Powerbook stands Comment by rsgunther November 2002
  • IMHO, the $999 ibook is out of the question. For only $1299 you get an extra 100 MHZ, bigger HD, 32 meg video (needed for Jaguar to really perform), more RAM, and a combo drive with DVD/CD-RW. This seems to be the machine to get. Allow, I do agre…
    in iBook DVD.. Comment by rsgunther November 2002
  • I have read a bunch of these reports about the fan noise all over the net. Some people are very furious about it. It sounds like apple is going to fix the problem, I recommend continuing to contact customer care & advising them that you are ve…
    in Why do my new MDD's sound like jets taking off? Comment by rsgunther October 2002
  • So you got a new PM with 512M of RAM from apple. Are you sure they didn't just put 2 - 256 MEG sticks in there? Check the slots again. Also, if not, post the item # from the ram & the website so we can check it out & give you some subje…
    in Apple RAM issue Comment by rsgunther October 2002
  • quite frankly, a 500$ PC runs Windows much better than my iMac G4 800 or my powerbook G4 800 both with 768 meg of ram... so, I just quit using windows and switched all software to Mac.. but MAN, I miss MS money.. .quicken kinda sucks.
    in VPC on G3 ibook Comment by rsgunther October 2002
  • Garbage - IMHO tablet PC's are complete garbage. At least the current releases are. I can see that laptops with writable screens for taking notes will be the future, but these limited function machines are just simply not practical for a home user…
