Last time I heard rankings on the powerbooks from a local Apple shop, they were moving the 15 inch the most, then the 12, then the 17. No idea how many, but the 12 was doing bette…
I see the iBook not shifting away from the 12" and 14" specs, I much rather see the MBP going 13" so it will be widescreen across the line (and also differentiate it from the iBook…

I would love to see an optical-driveless Mac subnotebook. This doesn't mean of course, that that I think optical drives should vanish all-together from the iBook/MacBook line, but …
I don't think Apple will introduce a sub-notebook sans the optical in the near future. I would however be interested to buy one. I rarely need the optical and when I do, I'm workin…

Think Secret just weighed in, claiming an announcement is imminent in March, with availability ramping up in April. Core Solo.
I'm, of course, aflutter with anticipation. The down…
With the $32 difference between Core Duo and Core Solo and other OEMs (like Dell) putting Core Duo in their sub-$999 laptops, it would be a shame if Apple didn't put Core Duo in th…

For old Macs with limited RAM/Processor speed, which Web/Email apps are best?
I'm running a Wallstreet with 256MB RAM, OS 10.4.4
Firefox seems to use 10mb less RAM but slightly mo…

I wrote extensively about my experiences installing Tiger on a Wallstreet. I think Tiger is the best OS for these old machines, bar none.
As for which browser to use on a Wallstr…
Since you're running Tiger it's not a big deal, but one thing to consider is that ealier versions of OS X came with earlier versions of Safari, which are obviously not as widely co…
That's really amazing. . . If so many are running Tiger well on their Wallstreets, it really inspires me to get a larger drive for my iBook 466 and upgrade to Tiger as well.
Yes, I honestly believe that many people put way too much emphasis on "needing" a faster (re: newer = more $$$) machine in order to run their everyday software efficiently. I purc…
I agree. Mhz is not everything. I usually get 6-8 years out of each Mac i buy (been using them since 1984, and Apple ][’s since 1979). I still have some Quadra 605’s running Ope…
