Yeah, I use a Podium Coolpad--just eyeballing it, I think my laptop is pretty close to 120 degrees now, if not a little more. Man, that would be very problematic indeed, if it actu…

Could a MBP owner please post a picture of their machine opened up all the way from the side, as shown on the apple.com webpage right now?

Well, it's not an ideal scenario, but if you use the Podium Coolpad, could you prop the front up? I'd guess it'll work about right with my iCurve w/o modification, but that's to b…

Just heard from another user who finds it not a problem at all. He shall remain nameless, but said, "MacNN is a place designed entirely for incessant bitching"

My Dell laptops haven't had any problems and they allow me to bend them almost flat. It's one of my common complaints amoung my mac laptops. I think Apple did this because of a bad…

this is really a problem for me...(by the way I am the one who noticed this problem and posted it first...just want to take a litte credit...sorry Anyway, it really is not a good…

I'm thinking the limited range may have to do with the airport/bluetooth antennae being moved to the hinge. Makes sense doesn't it? If it means better reception I'll make the sac…

Hmm. Let me think how many times I've wanted - let alone needed - to open my laptop so that it's flat.... Hmmmm... Nope. Err.....Nah. Mmmmmm. No. Never. Zilch. Zero. Now mayb…

Well not being able to return a CTO item has really pissed me off at Apple. Especially when it's something like this screen angle. A spec that isn't posted anywhere and a spec that…

Unnecessarily sarcastic post deleted, with apologies to those for whom this is a real issue.

I just surveyed 3 mac owners at work with the MBP angle and they all agreed with me that it's not a problem with them. Frankly guys, I don't see an issue here.

Side view for who requested. From the picture it looks like the angle is a physical issue, but in person it's being limited by something in the hinge. And here's a view of the M…

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…
