It's been a long time since I've posted here, but these new P4 machines are definitely piquing my interest. After temporarily owning both a Ti400 and Ti667, I am again in the mark…

Hello Everyone, Being the new (newbie) guy here but learning so much everyday from my fellow Mac lovers such as yourself (thanks for guiding me along guys.) I feel that this post …

i want one. why ? 16.1" @ 1600*1400

Sony Vaio = Kia Sportage Apple PowerBook = Land Rover We have a few Sony's here where I work. All crap. Nothing but problems with motherboards and the flimsy, cheap plastic they …

there is one thing to remember. the vaio doesn't run os x.

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…

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…

mmm, yah, but at 140 to 180 percent increase in power usage (goin by that chart) you'd see a corresponding drop in battery life...ugh... not any time soon... :r

The PPC is just one component it wouldn't produce a directly proportional drop in battery life. Besides, the battery could be improved -- larger, denser (heavier ) designs are p…

How long did it take to get from 500 megahertz to 667 megahertz? Too long. The fastest Apple's jumped in portable "megahertz" is 167 megahertz, and that took two PowerBook revision…
