Now they just need to shave a $1000 bucks or off the price and it will be perfect. The screen rez is still too low. Tho for the price they are asking I would want the 64MB DDR vers…
It is hard to complain about this update -- most of the things that people have been asking for seem to have been taken care of. I'm attracted by the new models (particularly the …
People are never, and I mean never happy.

'eh, not bad not bad. Definetely not enough to justify an upgrade for current TiBook owners. Only changes that I like are:
Pros:

2. Radeon 7500
Cons:
1. 1280…
The differance from 500Mhz to 667Mhz would be noticeable, but the differance from 667Mhz to 800Mhz would be astonishing, the extra cache, processor speed and processor will add to …
