ok ok ok ok i have just brought a powerbook from Apple
i chose it over the Vaio Z1 does any one on the BBS have one?..i would like to know their views on the Apple and whether or not i have made a wise choice!! having never worked with the MAC OS..

 

my boss went against IT policy and bought one.

its quite funky withe the dvd writer and movie making stuff on it, so i installed a windows2000 emulator on it for him so he can run "our" software.

nice piece of kit, but i'm not a real mac fan.

enjoy it

well if truth be known...i have a samsung for work...with XP..but the main reason that i brought the APple was..well..because it looks funky!!..its the 15" version with the superdrive..
call me a tart..but it needed to be done(so Vain..so sad..so silly!!)

 

hahaha ibet you had a PalmV when they came out too!!!!

LOL

Is the case made of titanium? If so YES you did. As a designer iv got a thing for titanium it turns me on

 

rik1471 - was that said in jest? If not, isn't that a bit unnecessary?

 

I'm writing this on a powerbook G4. I think it's the dog's.

Can't wait until they bring out their new desktop rang later on this year (I hope).

Did you go for one with built-in-bluetooth? and the backlit keyboard?

It is the nutts!
Mine's just over a year old, but I went to a customer site today and everyone was allover it, really impresses.

If you have any problems or want more help, just post back..

 

I've got an older g3 powerbook, a g3 desktop and a new G4 tower

Give me a Mac ANYDAY over a PC.....

well for music (and anything media-based!!)

Someone say Mac?

The Ti's are sweet. Got a few of them here, and recall we had the second one that shipped in the uk. Love em to bits. Hoping to try and secure one of the new 17 inchers, as they are very cool.

I do like PC's and had one at home, but it's gotta be a Mac for me, and nothing to do with getting them with a nice fat developer discount either!

If you whack Virtual PC on it, volia, instant PC! ok, so you can't play games, but hey, it runs Word and the standard PC apps with no problems at all.

 

i love it..ok it is taking some time to get used to..such as hitting ctrl and esc for menu..etc but apart from that the boot up process..stability has got me..and yes i got the blue tooth specified because it did not come as standard.nor did the airport card..but strangely bluetooth is built in on the 12" powerbook and not the 15"..oh well
I am Chuffed to bits...and do you know what the best bit is..the glowing apple on the Back panel!!!!
