i need to get a sweet laptop, the point is should i go for this? is it a pamela anderson if you know what i mean? can i get slsk on the mac, et al? thanks you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have one and it is lovely. I use Limewire rather than slsk which gets me all I need. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you. is it quick enough? im a little worried about the processor and switching from windows for the 1st time too! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get one, then your worries will be over! mines great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quick? yeah for sure. get as much RAM as you can though if you want to run heavy imaging apps. honestly it is joyous to use, you will not regret it. |
||||||||
|

they are well behind windows laptops though i don't think they have upgraded the CPU speeds significantly in ages... the OS is nicer but if your current setup only just copes then don't bother. |
||||||||
|

|
|
thanks guys. i need it for business though.. so it wont have hundreds of mp3s etc. clotting up the memory. i would go for the 1gb of ram i think though for photoshop cs2 and dreamweaver mx.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CPU speeds are not the most important thing. |
||||||||

|
ehi italian friend! what is your slsk username? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
"is it a pamela anderson if you know what i mean?" no, a powerbook is real... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Io non ho. |
||||||||

ah non hai soulseek? peccato potevamo parlare di musica elettronica più tranquillamente senza che nessuno si intromettesse dicendo... cazzate... come faccio con wooferattack. ciao! ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
dreamweaver doesnt need that much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Meglio che no ho, cosi poso fare un po di lavoro! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, thinking about it though, i will probably have like dreamweaver, photoshop, various browsers, word, etc. running at the same time.. multitasking will be important for me.. is there a default email client? like outlook on win. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"mail" |
||||||||
|
|

the mac os is far ahead of windows, its easy to use, stable and does what you ask it to i went for a mac mini, i can take anywhere and plug it in (i couldnt afford a power book) |
||||||||

well now that Apple merged with Intel, you'll be seeing the powerbook "g5" sooner than expected. it might be worth it to wait, though the newest PB's are still quite nice. I use SSX as a Mac slsk client and it is truly elegant and without a single problem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for the info |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
merged? I wasn't aware that using Intel processors instead of IBM constituted a merger. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

YOu also get garageband rolled into Tiger which is nice and easy to use for quick tracks. Honestly, take the plunge you won't regret it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, and get me one too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
thanks guys. but what if i want to hook up to the net while i'm abroad, i know it has wireless technology but is that the same thing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Before spending thousands of dollars on a powerbook, maybe you might want to look here. I never really have any problems with my pc. The only times that I ever come across problems or incompatibility issues are when I am using dodgy cracks of software that I shouldn't be using anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks, ive actually read that. it doesnt concern me because there's no way i will place such demands on the machine. im not arsed about gaming on it, its for business really. no one else in this fred has had issues. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Um, I don't really understand the question here. Surely so long as you CAN sort out a network point you CAN hook up to the net. Aiport is just a mode of doing so. |
||||||||

Im in the same boat Exaph, pretty much deciding between a 12" and the 15". I do video but I'll keep doing that on my desktop machine (AMD64 3.5ghz with a gig of ram, raptor hds.) I wanna be able to run cubase, reason and ableton comfortably. Can a powerbook ie 1.5 ghz with 1.256gB ram or the 1.67 with 1gb ram do this? The apples are so tempting. Walking into the apple store the demo powerbooks do seem to get incredibly hot. |

limewire is not soulseek. Not even close. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure pay extra just for some stupid fashion shit thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
look this is the internet mac users will tell you to buy it and pc users will tell you not to both of them will rattle off a list of stupid shit just listen to your heart. it's what i do. |
||||||||

im just well impressed with the features of tiger too.. but then when longhorn arrives.... i guess you can never be 100%, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, oscillik´s thread is funny - but it just can´t be o n l y hardware/software-related..... 4 computers! No way. Theres a user, too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i wont be going apple now probably not for a year and a half at least. i heard about the intel switch thing but didnt think too much about the implications. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ppc will be supported for years to come... if you need a PowerBook now, there´s no need to wait. the first intel-macs will probably need some revisions to mature... |
