The same applies to my iBook. I was in Starbucks the other day with it and had to ask an employee to put the window shades down, as the afternoon sun was making my iBook screen har…

Fujitsu has the "Crystal View Outdoor Enhanced Screen" where as Sony simply calls it "XBRITE". Not sure what other PC manufacturers call this technology but there definitely is a d…

Yeah, I agree. Comparing to the Dell laptops that we use at school, (Centrino) the …
I'd also be very surprised if the images on the screens of the PowerBooks were really showing on them. There is almost no doubt in my mind that the pictures on the screens were Pho…

Yep for sure.... It would be nice if Apple at least made better screens available BTO, kind of like, dare I say it, dell. You can up the price of a machine by quite a bit just by t…
