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.

I have a few parts from a once working (video card took a dump) G3 500mhz Dual USB iBook. I have the following I'd like to sell: • I/O Bezel • Fan • Clutch Cover • DVD Drive I a…

As requested in another thread, here are some comparison pictures between a 1ghz 15.1" PowerBook G4, a 1.8ghz CoreDuo 15.4" MacBook Pro, and a 1.8ghz CoreDuo 14.1" Thinkpad T60. C…

My MBP screen is definitely brighter than a revB PB12 and my revA PB17 screens. Indeed, it's comparable -- when looking straight on -- to the brightness of my Dell 24" at work. If…

sadly, I think Apple's priorities are not the kind of rugged durability that has been typical for thinkpads for years. How could Apple go back to plastic after using metal for so l…
