  • Quote: Originally posted by 1984 It sounds like the 1.5 GHz core solo version is a bit of a dog. I would like to see someone really test it but so far it looks like it just barely does 720p and 1080p is simply beyond its capabilities. Maybe whe…

  • Quote: Originally posted by ct77 Any word on what battery life is like, real-world use, on these new MacBook Pro machines? When I unplugged one at the Apple Store, it said "18 hours remaining". Briefly. Then it said 3 hours. So it's aroun…

  • Aha! Wikipedia has the answer you're looking for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_fonts#Keyboards "The keyboard font used on all iBook models and 2003 and later PowerBooks is VAG Rounded, a variation on Helvetica Rounded."

  • Quote: Originally posted by ajmas Does anyone know how I can view the PC section of a CD-ROM? I have a CD that has both software for the Mac and the PC, but I can only see the Mac stuff on my Mac. I want to be able to get at the PC stuff without …

  • If Apple Hardware Test does not run, then clearly, your model is defective, and as such, your observations about general performance are moot, since the machine isn't general -- it's broken. Wipe your data and call Apple Support for a replacement. …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg Heh, OS X on a Dell would be pretty cool, just because it would probably piss Mike Dell off. It most certainly would not. Dell as much as invited Apple to license OS X to them. Steve refused. Dell want…

  • 15" 1.5Ghz G4 PowerBook, Summer 2004. Silent. Every time I use it, I'm like "shit, I can hear myself think". It does have fans, and they do come on sometimes, but they're quiet and the pitch is not annoying at all. You can't even hear the fans most …
