I always liked the look of the 12" PB. Apple really think about a 12" MBP.

MBP pics are in the Powerbook thread, and MBP pics are in the MacBook thread. Not unlike a few relatives of mine, the MBP pics seem to be without a true home.

Maybe there should be a MBP pic sticky thread...

A renaming of the threads would certainly help as well. Perhaps there should be a "Mac Notebook Picture" thread.

[bishopazrael]

I'll second, or third... or whatever. Good idea. Please either merge the threads or lock the old ones and start new ones. I kinda like that idea. New incentive for us to clean up our workspaces and take some new pics. What do you say guys?

[JoshuaZ]

So sad. This is such a fun filled thread.

[bishopazrael]

Who says the new threads wont be fun filled?

[tridentinecanon]

So hey! Are we getting a new sticky thread for these pics? I vote for a universal all-in-one thread for all Mac Notebook pics.

I'd love to see some people's setups with their new Airs (which I suppose, if they were taking advantage of the portability they paid for, would be their Air stuffed neatly into a fancy laptop bag/briefcase as they run down the terminal at LAX), but where are they supposed to post these with the lack of proper thread organization!?!!?

[imitchellg5]

Alright, I made a thread about this in the Feedback forum. We'll see what happens

What kind of table is that??

If you look at my about page on my blog you can see my MacBook and set up

No site spam

The whole point of the thread is to post your pics inline. You already have a link to your site in your sig. -CW

I've merged the powerbook thread into the macbook one, then changed the title. A thread merge cannot be undone, so I hope you all don't have any regrets.

AWESOME. Thanks.

[bishopazrael]

Cold,
my thoughts are to say thanks for merging the threads. I think the whole idea anyways was to see how different users use their laptop and setup around it. Macbook, MBP, Powerbook, iBook, it's all the same.

Thanks,
Bishop

It's Incase's Protective Cover for iPod touch. I really like it, although I wanted the black but the Apple Store was out. Here's a link.

Isn't the magnet from that speaker going to wreck havock on the hard disk in that puppy?

Not as bad as if it was just a subwoofer. But quite possibly yes.

[jokell82]

I'm pretty sure the M-Audio monitors are shielded. Could be wrong about that, though...

Yeah they are. But still, my shielded Yamaha woofer ruined my CRT from about 3' away, so nothing wrong with being cautious.

[Jasoco]

It would have to be a pretty strong magnet to kill a Hard Drive.

[brassplayersrock²]

they're fully shielded monitors. Have had the computer on it for a few months now and still no ill effects.

edit:
if it ruined it from 3' away, it was piss poorly shielded

The computer doesn't look 3 feet away to me. ;-)

[brassplayersrock²]

i meant yours will do

[imitchellg5]

Thank you for the clarification :-0

[tridentinecanon]

Shielding.. no shielding...

I'm just curious whether or not your laptop dances when you pump up the volume?

[brassplayersrock²]

no; but it can become a disco light if it wants to: jkOnTheRun: Turn your MacBook Pro into a disco light

Coming soon from Apple: MacBook Rave.

Here's the MacBook setup:



-MacBook
-HP 22" LCD (w2207)
-Ghetto monitor stand (Basic Statistics & random VHS tapes)
-Logitech Z4i 2.1 Speakers
-iPod Nano 4gb. (gen.1)
-Apple Pro Keyboard
-Mighty Mouse



-Sharp Aquos 26" LCD HDTV
-Altec Lansing vs4121 2.1 Speakers

The pictures were taken with my Nikon Coolpix p5000

Where did you get that desktop picture?

[kertong]

[brassplayersrock²]

what is that? a 7''?

[jokell82]

Is that Eee PC running a remote desktop (VNC) app or is it actually running X?

Yep, the EEE is a 7", and it is running OSX Tiger 10.4.8. Everything works, save for the sleep/suspend functionality, and there is a strange kernel timer issue which causes dock/menu animations to run a little slow. You can mitigate it somewhat with fsb settings, but not cure it completely. Other than that, it's quite stable and runs really well. Oh, and AIFF sounds crackle and pop (probably due to the timing issue). The default wireless doesn't work out of the box either, but I popped in the 802.11 mini pci-e card from my appletv, and it seems to work just fine.

[0157988944]

I.E. It works just ok?

The thread has many pages. Try loading a couple old and a couple of the most recent.

[lisa_is_not_mac]

how much would a good monitor be?

[jokell82]

This isn't a thread for the discussion of monitor prices. And your sig is too big.

From left to right: JBL Creature II speakers, iMac G5 ALS, A logitech wireless keyboard, can't remember which one, an Apple remote (Bought separately because they don't come with the new MBPs ), iBook G4 12" RevA, finally, a Macbook Pro plugged into the external display (Feb 08 Rev), oh, and an 8GB iPhone with an Xtreme Mac skin tight case!
