That clamshell is way too big for a 12". Great setup, teknopimp. Whatsize is that screen?

teknopimp · Feb 4, 2006, 12:22 PM

22".

Some people asked earlier about the 12" vs. 14" and since I can't post a pic of my current setup since I don't have any kind of permanent setup, I'll explain why I got the 14".

I got the 14" at a time when it was not only faster than the 12" and had a 60gb HD instead of 30gb, but had preinstalled airport extreme. I wanted a stock configuration so I could exchange it in store if there were any problems and I needed wireless. The 14" also gets better battery life (only b/c the battery is physically larger) and this was important to me since I recorded all my classes and never ever took my power cable to class.

If I were to buy I laptop today I would get a 12" for sure though since I have good eyesight and don't need it for class any more. I don't regret my decision at all since I loved having a silent computer in class, but now my needs have changed.

I'm not running something demanding like Photoshop on it, but yes! So much so that I added an AirPort card and a new battery from Small Dog. Running 10.3.9, it's turned out to be a perfect "back up Mac" for the basics like Safari, Mail and Word.

But each serves its purpose well.

I'm with brass on this one. I love the iBooks! Especially the 12" G4 ones...

eeeaa · May 13, 2006, 01:41 AM

I have some pictures of my iBook before and after a good cleaning, and of the guts, during a hard drive upgrade.

eeeaa · May 16, 2006, 07:10 PM

Thanks. That Mr. Clean Magic Eraser really does the job when it comes to cleaning the iBook.

Flip500 · May 16, 2006, 08:32 PM

omfg.... i didn't think my laptop was that dirty at all but when i used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser literly black came off... it was awsome.... thank you.... haha....

iREZ · May 18, 2006, 10:29 PM

where are the pictures weenies!!!

Jasoco · May 18, 2006, 11:36 PM

So, I assume this will become the "iBook AND MacBook Picture Thread"?

icruise · May 18, 2006, 11:40 PM

Well, there already is a MacBook picture thread. Might be better to keep them separate.

Jasoco · May 18, 2006, 11:57 PM

Well... what about the fact that the MacBook is replacing both the 12" iBook AND the 12" PowerBook?

Why does that matter? I think it's best to keep the threads separate according to their line, which is easy enough. Any other classification system would probably confuse some readers, and I don't think is necessary. Besides, it's best to keep threads separate and shorter.

Oh and on a different matter: Can we have a general, voluntary rule to keep images at 800 pixels or less wide? I'm on a 17" screen right now, and, even at full screen, I can't see the entire page. I think 800 pixels horizontal should be enough for a good web picture. If you have a larger version, you can always link to it as well.

Jasoco · May 19, 2006, 12:47 AM

Well, I mention it since we have a PowerBook forum and an iBook forum. But now we hjave a Not-quite-PowerBook-but-not-really-the-iBook laptop....

My brain explode.

Also, I concur with the "800 pixel max" rule. I thought we already had that? Or is that just in the ScreenShot threads.

Well, but it's a MacBook, clear and simple, whatever niche it may be filling in now. So, we're better off just putting it in a MacBook thread in the MacBook and iBook forum.

I think this may be different for picture threads... not sure. Anyway, I don't care to be unnecesarily rude about it or report anyone. I just think that some posters don't realize others might have trouble viewing the picture and page when the posters are working on a higher resolution screen than other readers.

Your setup looks great, Doc. I've come to like the 14" iBook. What Palm is that? And is the eject thing on the mouse a sticker?

That is an IBM WorkPad c505 (=Palm M505) that is still in use for contacts with patients. Before I bought my Ibook I used to fill it with photos to show the patientes some treatments. Now i can show them in a 14" screen and with a beutifull and impressive notebook!!! They always live it!
as for the eject thing in the mouse, is just the brand logo. I noticed that in the picture it seemed like an eject button.

grinder · Jun 14, 2006, 04:08 PM

My sister just got one. It rules all. But I still think the 12" G4 had an amazing and compact design.

Leonis · Jun 14, 2006, 08:28 PM

I did miss my iBook until I got my MacBook

jaydon34 · Jun 14, 2006, 08:34 PM

12" had an amazing design. But what was it called Iwho, Iwhat ...... Its nothing compared to the macbook.
