Looking at both those pictures it seems like this shouldn't be a problem at all. I've used a powerbook for years and I never tilt the screen any farther back than where it is in t…

Wow...that is not good. Looks to be about 125º...maybe 130º...according to the old screen protractor trick. Contrary to those who say it doesn't matter, simple logic demands that …

I'm typing this sitting on the floor with my tibook's screen tilted way back. This is something I've been able to do with every laptop I've ever owned. I've been toying with the Ma…

Good grief. It looks no different to the current model powerbooks and people have been using them for years without any problems.

I just took this. In my lap, I have to move the screen UP.

This would be a non-issue for me, since I use my laptop nearly 90% of the time on a desk and with the screen tilted at approx. 115-120degrees. Maybe this was an effort by Apple to…

I just took a trip to the Apple Store to look at 'em...looking at my own PB G4 1.67 before and afterward. YES, the screen angle is more narrow on the MBPs. 20 degrees or so might…

Let's not forget, the macbook seems (in my brief experience with one) to be a good deal hotter than the previous albooks. It is noticeable. Unlike with the albooks I went "whoa, …

remember everyone, heat sources placed on the pelvic region is bad for the swimmers . . . . at least for those of us with swimmers . . .

Having spoken to an Apple worker, he claims that the difference is very small - more like 130 degrees on the MBP versus 135 on the PowerBook G4. It may be more a matter of the scr…

Is anyone able to post a pic of a 14" iBook to compare to the picture below.. Preferrably the same camera angle? That is what I sold to get one of these. I used to use it in bed ma…

It is an excellent article. And it has been for the past 24 years, ever since it was written in 1982! Timeline, anyone? Not to take anything away from it, though: It is worth r…
