I hate plugging and unplugging the cables from my laptop. The missing element on Powerbooks is a single in-line connector that many PC notebooks (Dell 600, Sony V505) have either…

I take my laptop on/off my desk twice a day and connnecting/disconnecting cables isn't that big a deal. I have power, speakers, 1xusb which goes to my keyboard, my MS Natural has …

A couple months ago, I got a 15 inch Powerbook. Perviously, I'd been using an old clamshell iBook. Anyway, I've noticed that, in my Powerbook's Airport menu, there's an option that…

I think what it does is improve the signal over any interference, but at the cost of the distance you can be from your base station.

Now there's a good first post.

I should've known to come here to find out. Had to google it. Defintitely helpful!

its under the airport wireless icon on the menu bar, what does that feature do? anyone?

I can't stand it when people say "do a search," but in this case... your answer is a few threads down on this same page: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.p...hreadid=196820

I currently have a ti550 powerbook, and thinking about getting a 12 AL powerbook. I kinda like the 12 better than the 15 for price and portablity. I also have G4 1gig MDD with 20…

I went from a Rev A Ti/400 to a Rev A 12" 867. 1. Will I miss my 15 inch widescreen. Yes. But I do not plan on doing much development ON the screen itself. It's a laptop, for use…

I was forced to move from my TiBook 667 (the one after yours). Mine was stolen from my classroom and I wanted a new laptop with a SD. Unfortunately, my insurance wouldn't cover the…

I went from a 667 to a Rev A 12". I was very worried that I'd miss the extra screen size, but I don't. I've had to get used to using my windows a bit differently, but it's just a m…

I also went from a Ti to a 12. I had a Ti 800, and now I have a 12 " 1 Gig. 1. Will I miss my 15 inch widescreen. Depends on what you do. I have a desktop with a Cinema Display, …

Well, heres another point to look at. I went from a 667 Ti DVI to a rev a 867 12" and was not very happy at all. The screen was way to small for me, and the thing got hotter than a…

Thanks for all of the replies, I'm not unhappy with my ti550 i just feel like it is just a little lagging sometime. I was planning to upgrade my ram to 1 gig...which will cost ab…

One more thing, I do transfer alot of photo from PM to my TiBook via giga ethernet. I've just notice that the 12 PB do not have gigabit ethernet. How much slower will the files b…

Well, the file transfers will be, like, 10x slower . You can use firewire to get faster than 100mbps, though. Definitely sell the Tibook if you can get $1k, that's pretty good.

Forgive me for my dumb question, but how exactly do i transfer files from my PM to my PB through the fire wire.

Transfer files by firewire in "Target Disk Mode" Power up the PM. connect the firewire cable to the PB. Start the PB holding down the "T" key. Wait for the Firewire logo to bounce …

I went from a 14.1" iBook to the 12"PB. So far I haven't missed the size. I thought I would. I've enjoyed the larger screens. I don't miss the size at all. It is up to you. Y…

I switched from a Ti500 to a Al12 some months ago. 1. Will I miss my 15 inch widescreen. For spreadsheet work: definitely yes! For the rest maybe no. The compact size of the Al1…

Just went from a Ti 1 GHz to an Al 12" 1 GHz, here is the rundown: (1) Display: Yes, the widescreen display of the Ti is nice, and yes 1024*768 is ridiculously low-res. That said…
