Well, while I never managed to drop the iBook I had a few years back, it was essentially ruined one week to the day after I got. Long story short, I walked out of the room and wh…

I'm all for believing in the toughness of the powerbooks :-) but I was just wondering, does anyone know how the powerbook or ibook measure up against the other wintel notebooks in …

Why won't apple fix the "accidental dropped notebook" through apple care, but they will replace the LCD screen with it?(and from what i heard, even "dropped" lcd screens"

Ack! What can I do? I got my Al 15" literally 4 days ago and the latch is failing. It won't stay closed anymore... even when it's just sitting on a desk. Is there anything I ca…

I believe that the Logitech Mx900 mouse is available in some channels, does anyone have one yet, any impressions with the powerbook?

I have it and I love it... But it could be better. I have a very small working area (my computer sits on a lap desk and I sit on my bed - that's all the desk space I have). The …

Call me irrational, but I hate buying anything that has buttons/features that are "sorry, not functional on the Macintosh." It engenders too much resentment. That's why I have to t…

MX900 uses bluetooth as wireless connection... It's not for mac, yet... It comes with a bluetooth hub, which is the important thing in my opinion, adding bluetooth to a PC Unles…

I bought an MX900 for the sole reason of having bluetooth-enabled multi-button mouse for my Bluetooth-equipped iBook. Well, guess what, it SUCKS (for me, at least.) 1) there's no…

MX700 is Exactly like MX900, except it uses RF and not BT to communicate. but if i'm not mistaken, isn't MX700 claimed to be compatible with mac by the Logitech site? and the extra…

I guess I don't understand. Not using some of the buttons does not seem a big deal to me. Plugging in an RF transceiver in a bluetooth notebook IS. Wireless should be that -- freed…

The problem is that almost no PC has Bluetooth built in - unlike Macs. As such, Logitech has their mouse built with a bluetooth hub as part of it - where all the prefs are on the b…

the MX900/700 was intended for desktop use, not a notebook companion. it has that huge cradle because it's assumed that the desktop won't be going anywhere and it cna be a base sta…
