I think it's stupid to have a SuperDrive in a portable.

In case you couldn't tell by my first post, I am 100% behind seanyepez. So now you need to be near a wall with an outlet, pay $500 extra on an already expensive laptop just to bur…

Its all about bragging rights.....

Bragging rights? Like I'm dumber than all of you put together. More speed, less weight.

My PowerBook is my desktop, so I'd love a superdrive...

I liked my Pismo, even though it was a big honking latpotp. I persoanlly would not mind having a 6 or 7 pound laptop if I could get some decent battery life. The big iBook is a s…

of course im right.....

I'll put in my vote for a SuperDrive, since my only computer is my portable. Besides, it's great for backups, not just video DVD burning.

There is a constant very low rumbling sound from my PB G4's HD - as though the HD is constantly being accessed. Very quiet - but noticeable all the time. It's not just ordinary HD…

ohhh!! ... be careful with that problem .. i read about this in another forum .. i think it because you use an old palm desktop beta on your ti-book .. i had that problem too get…

Thanks but unfortunately I don't have any palm software installed. It really sounds pretty innocent but I am nevertheless curious what it is, as it is constant all the time....low …

I have the same exact model and have the same exact symptom, I've posted here before got the "Palm beta" response too... I don't know how many people have this problem... but if it…

New info from Japan... it's not April 1.

That would be absolutely wonderful. Dunno if they lifted it from the same source but Apple Turns got the same dirt and posted it in their yesterday's report as well (about it being…

Update: Various site in Japan are now stating that they can no longer able to order PB G4 there... what available is what in stock now, production/logistic problem or new machine r…

I'll be beyond-disappointed if they only add 133Mhz and a SuperDrive. I definitely appreciate burning DVDs, but a higher res screen and faster graphics are sorely missing even now.…

Well Appleturns usually just combs other sites, and puts a clever/interesting/funny spin on the articles, but they seem to say MWNY in the same enclosure, so who knows. The most i…

Perhaps sooner than MWNY. Smalldog has just gotten in a boatload of refurbed Ti's and new CD-RW/DVD Ti's. They are also showing all Combo drive Ti's as backordered. Only a matter o…

A labtop SuperDrive is not going to happen soon. One, SuperDrive is a major selling point for the new iMac and G4 towers which are both new items. Two, Apple just got going on th…

There was something about Apple and Pioneer demoing a thin, slotloading SuperDrive prototype @ MWTk... Don't know it there's much truth to that, though.

How long did the Pismo last us, 11 months? This powerbook has been around for about 15 months now. With product turn around times shrinking in the computer industry these days, i…
