    in Apple to update MacBook lines in time for holidays Comment by philby September 2006
  • Unless max RAM config goes up from 2GB, I don't think the 64 bits will do anything much, actually. But Merom speed increase, a FW800 port and (a boy can dream, can't he?) maybe a faster GPU would be nice, IMHO. Being able to use 3 or 4 GB of RAM wo…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Mr. Me The difference is in how each company markets its monitors. The difference is that they use completely different panels. Apple (and all the other 23" out there: HP, Sony...) has a 23" LG-Philips panel, whi…

  • Quote: Originally posted by mynamehere Yes...getting the 17" sounds like compensation to me. Be a real man. Get the 15" The 17" is just overkill anyway... As a current 17" and soon-to-be 15" owner, I'll subscribe to this.

  • Quote: Originally posted by imiloa So slower, cheaper for Apple (one chip vs two), but the same price, right? My original point, then: Higher margins for Apple for slower hardware. My sentiment exactly.
    in Apple introduces Power Mac G5 Quad & Power Mac G5 Dual Comment by philby October 2005
  • Quote: Originally posted by AquaMac I was hopeing for quad 2.3 too but its ok. The G5 ends on a bang. What you said: it's OK. But it's not a bang by far. Imagine how nice it would have been had Apple introduced an all-quad lineup, 1.5, 2 and…

  • Quote: Originally posted by ChevalierMalFet Another issue I was thinking of. With 37inch 1900x1200 LCDs on the market for around $2,000, Apple's 30inch LCD is looking a bit pricey. Size matters not - resolution does. A 37" 1900x1200 LCD is i…

    in Even more disapointing TS news Comment by philby April 2005
  • Quote: Originally posted by PB I think it means what it says, that is a G5 processor. Maybe H.264 really needs the G5s much superior I/O throughput? Anyway... Apple, get on with it, I want a HD-capable PowerBook. 8)
    in Future Powerbooks... Comment by philby April 2005
  • Looks like the PowerBook will in fact need a G5 sooner or later. Quote: Playback of HD DVDs authored in DVD Studio Pro 4 requires a PowerPC G5 processor (from http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/).
