I've got a *great* Tumi laptop case that perfectly fits the 17". I love it - and use it 99.99% of the time. Whooooopppssss. I needed to go on a long distance trip and wanted to …

Another vote for sleeves here. They really help in preventing scratches (Arrgh), and give you a little extra protection against drops and collisions. It may cost more to get a go…

Yeah, sleeves are the way to go. I use a waterfield designs sleeve and just drop it into my kelty backpack. Stealth man, no-one knows what I'm carrying. Best security you can get. …

Is there any speculation in the pipeline to what kind of graphics card could be included in the G5 powerbook. I'm hoping that I'll be able to play World of Warcraft with some pret…

My guess is Whatever ATI Is Up To, seeing as how the high-end PowerBooks tend to get whatever ATI's best happens to be at the time. tooki

ati 9700 mobility

9700? Right. That's a chip on its way out, and I don't believe there was ever a Mobility version. It all kinda depends on when the PB G5 design is frozen, and what is available at…

Let's hope it'll be the M12... if that isn't too far off in the future, that is. Quote: Well, our next mobile product is M11, which isn�t too far off, which will deliv…

Has anyone tried the Multi Drive upgrade from MCE Technologies: http://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/m...de=PBG4DVDR2-A Has anyone heard anything? Pros/Cons? Thanks

Just a little note, DVD-RAM is very incompatible with normal DVD readers and most DVD-Burners. You might as well get the superdrive, and try to find two sided media, that would eq…

After contemplating the switch for some months, and being in the hunt for a good laptop...I finally ordered a 15 inch PB the other week. First oddity was that the PB shipped from …

Oh man, don't get me started again on Apple shipping issues!

He must be picking his new PB just about now. Cool.

I had a good shipping esxperience with Apple (unusual). I ordered my PowerBook about a week ago. The person set it up and took my credit card number and said it would be 3-5 days, …

Well I just returned from the Fedex place and have been setting this puppy up....man it's a nice piece of equipment!

I have been waiting for my Powerbook since Dec. 23., and the machine shipped last tuesday. To my surprice, I haven't noticed any change on the tracking service, but discovered toda…

It seems to me that the 15's ship considerably slower than the other PB's. (Probably due to demand, and original screen problems). I ordered a 15" PB superdrive at the start of O…

I just recently(Jan 12) ordered a 12"PB online from the ADC Store. The order page said that shipping would occur 1-3 business days later. I went with 2-3 day shipping. My orde…

All of this leads me to wonder, why do you folks all order from Apple directly, when the resellers have a much better record in terms of timely shipping? Is there some other benefi…
