  • On a related note, I washed my car the day before yesterday.
  • Save for one more month and get what you truly want. Why is this so hard? 30 days goes by really fast. It's not like you said "convince me to save for two more years...". \ Get the 17" and be happy.
  • I hope Apple never comes out with a G5 PowerBook, just to tweak some of you.
  • Today's G4 PowerBooks are - to all but the most envelope-pushing 3D/video type of person...or, on the flip side, a supremely spastic Spec Whore who likes to brag numbers - truly desktop replacements, IMO. It goes without saying the coolness of s…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Messiahtosh pscates, not to mention the Tennessee Volunteers football program is one of the biggest in the nation. Their stadium holds well over 100,000 fans and Phillip Fulmer has built himself quite a dynasty there o…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Escher Just remember, pscates, the illustrations of PowerBooks on Apple's website are just that, illustrations. Because they are renderings of 3D models, not photographs of real product, the illustrations are likely no…
  • Just saw this at MacMinute...and interesting tidbit for anyone being excessively chuckleheaded and "holding out for a G5 PowerBook"... Pack a lunch, pal Buy today's PowerBooks (and iBooks) in confidence, my brothers. And quit worrying ab…
  • That front page stuff rotates. Go check it again...it'll probably be PowerBooks. Sit there and hit "refresh" a few times to see. Also, did anyone else notice this: the illustrations of the PowerBooks - particularly the 15" - used on Apple's site …
  • You'll find out soon enough, I suppose, but this should probably be in General Discussion, where purchasing advice AND "Ah got me some shit fo' sale" stuff goes.
  • ***SMACK!!!***
  • Who is you? It can be about whatever PowerBook stuff naturally comes about. If a MODERATOR feels this should be split off into a separate "Help Messiahtosh buy a laptop" thread to be placed into General Discussion, they'll do it. Relax.
  • OMG, most of us here would've given our left...uh, kidney...for just 32MB graphics in a laptop a year or so ago. Now the dinky little cute PowerBook has 64MB - more than anyone probably expected from such an incremental update - and that's somehow l…
  • The 12". If today's 12" was available in October, I would've bought it, hands down, and saved myself 600 clams! And I would've put said 600 clams toward a 17" or 20" Apple display (yes, APPLE display...because I like them...Formac, Sony, NEC, …
  • I feel the same way. I think it's a really great upgrade (and I'm happy for anyone needing an Apple laptop right now), but I honestly don't exactly feel "blown out of the water" either, so it's cool on all ends. Unlike others around the forum, I …
  • What is "clamshell mode"? Is that using the laptop closed when hooked to an external display (I'm guessing it is) and just using the laptop as a really small, slim tower? Is there a benefit to doing this? Wouldn't you want two screens, or is …
  • Holy cow, I just now noticed the $100 and $200 price drops on the 15" SuperDrive and 17" models! Now $2499 and $2799. This time last year the 17" was $3299! Then dropped to $2999 last fall. Now $2799? Awesome! Faster, better, cooler...and chea…
  • Wasn't Bluetooth available, built-in, in the PowerBooks before today, all models? I think it was. It was AirPort Extreme that wasn't (but now is). But I believe all five previous PowerBooks had Bluetooth built-in, right? Also, did everyone not…
  • This is an AWESOME, solid and totally realistic, worthy upgrade. And the first knucklehead that comes here bitching about the PowerBooks not sporting 1600x1900 resolution - or something equally idiotic - gets a big Moe Howard smack. There is …
  • Edit: never mind...excessively mean and hateful post from me...don't wanna be that way this early
  • AppleWorks XP and iClue 1.0
