My HD Hitachi (in a 17" 1.33GHz) I have the Brenthaven case and it's very well made, and the laptop is well protected in a removable pouch made from high density foam. You will love the machine just so long as you don't want to play high end g…

I'm assuming that you've got Photoshop preferences set to use 100% of available memory? (Preferences->Memory and Image Cache...) My guess is that you're running up against the 2CB limit imposed by the fact that CS is a 32-bit application. P…

I use iSync and .mac constantly to keep my G5, my powerbook, my iPod and my Kyocera 7135 palm phone in sync - it works perfectly and without me even having to think about it. Add to that iDisk and the auto-syncing that does to keep critical files in…

Who says that just because it's flash it has to have lower capacity. Couldn't they replace the HD in the mini with 4G of flash and sell it for $200? Same battery life == cheaper battery, flash cheaper than HD, voila, low cost mini.
