MacBook Pro, PowerBook | Forum profile

A week or so ago I posted about recieving information to find a release date, or sku... something to see when the new macs are coming in. Well to my surprise I actually got information on a found reset containing all of the new apple skus. The apples are going to be launched on Nov 2nd. (This sucks for me cause Ive been waiting for 2 weeks for a replacement and just ...

If the rumours are true all i can say is bo**ox.

Rumor has it the new Pros will feature nothing more than a mere 9600M GT. Unlike the 8600M GT, which, whilst not being high end by any means, was at least brand new at the time it was first incorporated into the MBP, the 9600M GT is simply a slightly faster clocked 8600M GT that itself has been around for months and months and there are plenty of alternatives, including both the 9650M ...

Right now, you can buy a PC with the MBP specs for a considerably cheaper price. The average consumer may not think the OS is worth that much more, so apple sits at its 10% market share point. However, in order for apple to really make an impact this tuesday, the new notebooks have to be "aggressively priced" as well as having specs better than their competitors. Are you ...

How many people plan to be sell their old MBP to get the new models being being announced tomorrow? I think I am going to be one of those that will be selling and getting the newer ones!

i know, i know everyone is sick of these threads. so am i. im in week 1 of uni (filming course) and already i have a seminar to present (week 3), essay to write (week 2-3) and filming work to do (from week 2 on) and oct. 14th falls in week 4 of my course. i typed out a long and detailed first post and when i went to hit submit i was asked to log in again so i lost everything...

Hi folks Basically I bought my MBP in Sept 07 from an Apple reseller. For the past month or two, I've had intermittent problems with the display. At times its just simple flashes of dots on screen, at others the colours are inverted or the screen hangs/distorts. The length of this interference has been up to 30 mins at a time, despite opening/closing the lid and mouse jiggling...

Since its been official that all 8600m GT cards are defective that we can only prolong the gpu failing.. Ok so this makes me feel like I've just gotten kicked in the crotch for the 2nd time. So this means the 3 year apple care I bought might be a lottery pick. For the people who hardly ever games and reaches a low temperature of their gpu cards would take much longer for the ...

hmm?? idk lol just thought id post it

Okay, so I just bought this used Titanium Powerbook G4 on eBay. I'm pretty pleased with it aside from one thing: the bottom two-thirds are too bright. This didn't show up in the pictures of the Powerbook in the auction, so I assume it happened during shipping or something, or from some goof-up that I did. Here's what it looks like: And it gets brighter towards the right side...

Apple said this week some of its more recent MacBook Pro models may contain faulty Nvidia graphics chips that produce distorted video or fail completely. The problem In July, Nvidia informed the Securities and Exchange Commission that it would incur a $150 million to $200 million charge to cover repair and replacement expenses resulting from "a weak die/packaging material set"...

It is my personal belief that the MacBooks and the MBPs will be combine into one line. Cant Speculate on the MacBooks, but the MBPs should have at least: And that they will Offer Core 2 Duo's up to 2.8GHz 1066FSB Up to 8GB DDR3 1066 Ram NVidia Chipset with Integrated Graphics + a 9650M GT 512MB with Hybird SLI Capabilities SSD Drive BTO, As well as 500GB 5400rpm Drives, or ...

I bought my MBP at the very end of April/early May, so it's five months going on six - in my possession. Lovely machine, and I'm very happy with it. Cheers

I was pretty stoked for the new MBPs, but I've not been a fan of chiclet keyboards since the PC Jr... I love my current keyboard and not have to actually think about whether or not to upgrade.

I've seen some of the mockups of people suggesting the invite is not the actual notebook but rather the glass trackpad. I've got a theory...at first I thought perhaps the mockup could be possible but something just didn't jive. Then it occurred to me that Payton who did the original mockup was on the right track but got it wrong. They cut out the image of the alleged notebook and used...

Interesting find while browsing online for my replacement MBP: Well, looky here! It's not a bad mockup, I think. I should go ahead and buy it and sue them when the item I receive isn't like the one in the picture. Here's the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/APPLE-MACBOOK-PR...d=p3286.c0. m14
