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…

I'm working on a desktop pic that has a mix some bitmap images with some vector work. This is all being done in PS 6. I have a nice gradient going from dark blue to white that I'm …

What's your opinion on using .pdf for distrabuting desktop pics? I don't think I've run across any .pdf desktops before.

Kind of sloved my problem. Not exactly with the outcome that I was hoping, but a nice compromise. I just added a little noise to the gradient and saved as a jpg. Not quite as smoo…

PDF excels as desktop picture format, although MAC ONLY. No need for resaving/converting – just drag it in there. PDF allows you to do all the things you wanted; gradients, shades…

Saving clause: At least on my 10.4.4 Tiger... :>

Does the pdf need to be the exact pixel dimensions as the monitors settings? Or will it scale if is say 1600x1200 and I have my monitor at 1280x960? Thanks

So my mother just recived her 2.0 ghz MacBook and I'm taking it for a spin, side by side with my 1ghz tibook (1gb ram and 5400 rpm hd). What bugs me the most, more than any concer…

So, did you first callibrate the battery as per the instructions in the manual? If not, do it then report back. If you already have, then I guess you have a legit complaint.

Please calibrate the battery first before making judgements about the battery life. Those numbers around the battery life tend to fluctuate. Mine was as high as 4:04 and as low a…

im still waiting to buy a MacBook Pro but the heat issue is quite annoying since the heat on ibook 12'' is killing me already

You're all right of course. What got my goat more was the heat - this thing got hot veeerry quickly. Battery being calibrated.

how hot is hot though? All PBs/iBooks got hot when pushed hard, but in normal usage (sofar) tend to be 'just' warm.

The Tibook has far better battery life than any recent model. As far as getting hot, you definitely maxed out the MPB. Photoshop has to use Rosetta to run. Even so, it was probably…
