I have a 1 GHz TiBook that I love dearly and I am thinking about buying the 20" Cinema display and the DVI to ADC adapter for it. I am just wondering whether or not the TiBook fits between the legs of the 20" Cinema Display.

Do you want to run it "clamshell" ?

Time out... I must be reading things...

an Apple Store put a TiBook in clamshell? Doesn't Apple say they do not support the hack to run clamshell?

That would be similar to having their iBooks running higher than 1024x768 on display for retail sale. I just can't see that... which Apple Store was this?

Most of the noobs working at our local Apple Store wouldn't know how to hack clamshell or iBook spanning.

Unless I'm mistaken, running a TiBook in clamshell mode is fully supported. I ran a TiBook in clamshell mode for months at a time, connected to a 21" CRT.

The last Powerbook model to not support clamshell mode was the Powerbook G3 "Wallstreet" model, which vented heat through the keyboard. Since the Lombard model, there have been other vents on the system, and clamshell mode was supported.

I run a 12 in PowerBook with the lid closed on a 19 in Lacie CRT monitor. It's not hack.

You seem to be referring to the iBook here. All powerbooks can run in spanning and clamshell mode as well as mirroring.

Anyways, I'm about to pick up a 20" as well and was wondering the same thing. Anybody got a picture?

EDIT: Just saw your last post. Sorry.

I ran through all the pages of the PowerBook picture forum. I saw a 12" that fit in between the legs of the 20" but nothing involving a TiBook.

Someone here has to have a TiBook and a 20" or know someone who has one or the other.

Or if you can measure the width inside the 20" legs. I got a TiBook I know how wide it is.

I'm taking my TiBook in for repairs tomorrow or friday. I'll just walk over to the 20 inch and see if it fits. Let you know later.

I used to use a TiBook and a 22" Cinema. Fits quite nicely between the monitor's legs (hmm... sounds a little sexual, doesn't it).

Yeah, baby. 15" of titanium between your legs.

It fits! I just took my TiBook in for repairs, and before I sent it off I slid it between her legs a few times.

I'm sure they designed the display to fit the powerbook 15" underneath, that was its main purpose. anyone know why its called clamshell mode and not closed lid mode? it keeps making me think of the clamshell ibooks.
