  • I've had a 2.4/4GB Macbook for just over two weeks. My major problem is with the screen, which isn't faulty as such - it's just a bad screen to begin with. I also have a trackpad latency situation (including occasional cursor loss) and wireles…

  • Point of interest: I've just been around 3 of the biggest Apple retailers in London, including the Apple Store, and reps at every one of em told me they'd turned away a lot of customers put off by the glossy screens. I think there's a tendency t…
  • Basic comprehension:- The question was whether or not there have been more complaints for this release than usual, not whether those complaints are justified.
  • Mel Gross, can you stop telling those of us who don't want to work with a glossy screen what conditions we "should" be working under? As a pro TV exec I have to work under all kinds of conditions you obviously have no idea of: outdoors, at night…
  • What I don't get about the bezel is why it's so thick. The TiBook I'm typing on has a bezel half as thick. With the new MBs and MBPs, I feel as though I'm staring at the screen down a smeary, dark tunnel with a shiny, dirty glass panel over the…
  • I think the subject of aesthetics and Apple is an interesting one though. When Jonathan Ive started at Mac his creed was clearly 'think different', and his first imacs etc really did look completely different from any home computer that had come …

  • On exchange rates, the dollar has fallen exponentially against the pound. If anything the comparative price should have gone down, not up. Having said that, personally, if I didn't know about the US price drops, the UK price rises wouldn't have …

  • Someone's set up a petition on the gloss issue:- http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/m...pro/index.html Can't hurt to lobby for the option a lot of us need - whether the fanboys think we need it or not.
