I just want to chime in to say that the side view of the T60 above looks really freakin' ugly. I'm glad my laptop is so much prettier than that.

VGA hahahhahaha

Oh, c'mon now. I've never used a cooling pad with any of PBs or my MBP. They're no more necessary than they are for a T60. And to help everyone understand one thing, another reas…

That's true about the heat, I personally don't care, but I've had 4 PBs and this MBP, so I'm kinda used to it. Heh. It'd be nice not to have it, but, if I had to pick between hot a…

VGA on any notebook above $1500 is abysmal. And don't give me the dongle crap. Every decent corporate presentation station will have a dongle ready. Just like a laser pointer, AC p…

Man, this whole issue is turning into a fiasco. But i like to point out some things that should be common sense and alleviate some panic. Heat: All this talk about the mbp melting…

I think they're actually playing it smart. For the general buyer they made sure the MBP gets roughly 3h battery life. Anything less would have generated a lot of bad press. OTOH t…

ok shouldn't this be going in the compairison forum that you setup jasonsRX7....about the t70, PB, and MBP......this stopped talking about Underclocking the MBP a while ago

Back on topic a bit, would it void our warranty to re-clock the video card?

Hi, Sadly, I sold my g5 just the other day, and I miss like heck. But we made some cash on it. I'm trying to find a cheap machine to hold us over until the newer machines come o…

1. Any Radeon will give you Quartz Extreme support, Radeon 9600 or better will give you Tiger Core Graphics support. 2. You can do it with a $10 ATA-SATA adapter (mind the 128GB li…

hi, Thanks for your suggestions. Do you think the radeon 9600 cards are worth it considering they seem to go for $100+ on ebay? how about am inexpensive card like the radeon 700…
