Tablets suck-not even windows users want them(outside of the medical field).

These guys are fast...

> Tablets suck

They won't "suck" if it's an iPhone / iPod touch with a larger screen.

Did someone say porn?

Windows tablets suck, yes, but if anyone could do a tablet right it would have to be you-know-who.

Porn? No, looks like rape to me.

Hey guys, keep it safe for work. You are triggering filters to block me.

The word "Geek" triggers your filters at work? Wow... you're boss is tough. (wide eyed stare)

"Nothing to see here folks, let's move along..."

I read that the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros have 30 to 60 minutes LESS battery life than the the machines that they have replaced.

In the UK Apple has removed the Apple Remote that used to be supplied for free. You have to pay an extra £15 ($30) for it as an "upgrade". In effect the price of the laptop has been increased. Sneaky!

You heard wrong. The new Penryn processors are actually more energy efficient.

The remote is also no longer included in the U.S. models ($19 add on).

I was really hoping they would add OLED keyboards- this will be SO cool when it happens (letters on keyboard change as you change the font/language). Oh well...

@ Name--

Actually, Afib is right. I read that too, and I have a link to support the statement.

The battery life reporting is different. Apple used to announce the longest possible battery life, now they report the average. For typical usage, battery life has apparently increased, though it's not a huge difference.

Can a new 15" MBP @ $1999 (using an external monitor and keyboard) replace my G5 without suffering a slowdown? Use it mainly for InDesign and minor Photoshop Elements stuff.

OLED keyboards? Doesn't one of those cost more than a whole laptop?

@TheConfuzed1

Holy crap, you've got a link for it? It must be true!

Feb 27, 08 - 10:28 am Comment from: El Guapo

Oh, and here's my link to support it

re: "EL GRAN BLOGO"

Nice!


P.S. I would have voted for Archer.

I would say yes, for the purposes that you note.

Is "Tongued in the Butt" supposed to be an insult? Because if it is, you're doing it wrong...
