iBook is good with what it has if you have lots of RAM. I am sure the new iBooks will be loaded. It is their best selling portable.

When we got my wife's G4 800MHz iBook in 2004, it was no doubt the best "bang for the buck" in ultralightweight laptops. It is still exceptionally useful and effective for her nee…

I'll probably act disappointed for a day or 2 after the announcement if it uses GMA, but in real-world use, I'm sure I wont notice the difference one whit. Me, too.

For a cheap (<$1499) ultraportable (<1" thick, <3.5 lb) I wouldn't mind GMA950. But for anything pricier and bigger I won't buy without a discrete GPU, preferably nVidia.

I'm sure most of you reading this thread are aware of some of the 'concerns' first-gen macbook pro owners have experienced - overheating, noises/whirring, wifi issues, etc... Any …

I would love to see Apple offer a sub-notebook. No optical drive needed... and offer a 10" or smaller screen at the same resolution.

I was at Costco yesterday and they were selling the 30 gig iPod video and the 2 gig nano for 10-20 bucks off the retail price. Several weeks ago they were selling the G4 iMacs and…

Costco used to stock iPod+HP for about $30 off list plus 10 free iTMS songs. I think Apple is just restoring this retail opportunity, hopefully for the long term.
