I don't care if the Vaio has a bigger screen... my 14.1" Pismo is fine... I'm not a graphics designer, and if I was... I'd get a desktop mac with a Cinema Display... I don't care…

If you go with the Vaio remember, lift it with your legs or else and be sure and check our this site: http://www.mayfieldclinic.com/PE/PE-COPE.htm

While 8.x pounds is heavy, there's something wrong with you if you can't carry that around .

Come on people! Get with the programme! Next PowerBook wants Ghz processor top model, with an 800Mhz as the entry model. iBook wants 733 Mhz G4 with less cache. Give the iBook th…

while sony's laptops may look cool and be light, they suck. ive had to fix so many of them at work. i dunno what sony does to them but their quality is crap.

I used one at the Sony store in Ginza. (I'in Tokyo right now.) They're solidly-built machines, but they're heavy as hell. The display was purely amazing, though. I still prefer m…

Video card junkies, From what I've read a pin compatible Radeon 7500M ought to fit right in to the current TiBook MoBo with little revision, bump it to 32MB and that's probably t…

If you ran that thing at full 1.7ghz with the screen on full desktop brightness and cd-r burning ufll blast, you'd see it catch on fire and run out of battery in about 1 minute. R…

Actually, it has the same battery life as a TiBook. Consumes the same amount of watts. How long do the batteries last on a Mac laptop running OSX? 2.5hrs It's simple mathematic…

I agree that the build quality on Sonys are sorely lacking. Along with the rest of their shortcomings. I just hope this DOES make Apple going a little bit higher on screen rez, and…

I don't know about everybody else here, but I just really love using my tibook and macos x. Everything works smoothly, setting up networks connections is a breeze, the pb is beauti…

I heard somewhere that there would be Rage Pro support in OS X 10.2. This would mean that Open GL would be enabled in older imacs and powerbooks as Apple originally promised with O…

Does anyone know a good deal for the Travelstar 60GH 60GB hard drive? The Dell deal is over and the only places I've found are TransIntl ($419) and Googlegear ($403). Anyone know a…

Googlegear.com is the cheapest source of the 60-gigabyte IBM TravelStar 60GH. They're also a very reputable vendor and users from this forum have had excellent experience with them…

Hi guys and girls... as you all can see, I'm new. My first question tho isn't a very simple one, so let's start. As student, everybody will agree, you naturally don't have a lot …

I think upgrading a 1400c at this point has diminishing returns. The 1400c was a venerable notebook when it was new, but it's pretty useless for even today's office applications. F…

List it on e-bay and put the proceeds towards either an iBook or a Titanium. rh

Well, I'm not making any plans on listing my new Laptop on ebay again, I just bought it there. Let's set this clear: I don't have the money to buy an iBook, even not a used one. […

Word 5 and ClarisWorks 4 are stellar for older machines. Also look into the iCab browser, and Eudora lite 3 as an email client. They all run nicely in low resource environments.

That's a good tip, I'll try to find those. As said, It's just a better typewriter for me at first, maybe something more when it really suites me. But I'm not going to spend $800 fo…

I actually ran 9.0.4 without complaint on my old 1400. I primarily ran Office 98 and PageMaker 6.5+. PageMaker didn't run that well until I got a Newer 250 upgrade and 64mb of ra…

I've got the rev a titanium, 500. I'm running with the original 256meg configuration. But I live in os X. I never go back. From what I remember of my OS 9 days, the computer wa…
