| Hey, what can you do with the Video port?

I've got a 15" iMac 700.
Given there is no spanning, what do you do with the video port?
If I connect another VGA LCD display to it, it will simply mirror the internal iMac's display.
Other than...

It's always about getting the latest and greatest. It's just ingrained into our psyche.
But seriously think about what you could use that extra $250-$300. Perhaps a refurbished iPod from Apple at...

| "Old" iBook 700 differences to new 700

808 Views / 7 Replies |
The refurbished price of $999 for the 12" iBook 700 w/combo is so tempting. Plus less $25 sign on coupon.
This is what I know:
-Video card is different but it's still QE ready.
-I think I heard...

Here's a tougher one to call I think. I have someone who's selling a mint condition Powerbook 400/DVD for $1200.
I know it's one of the older generation PB's but would I be better off with a new...

This has been debated at nauseum, so maybe it's finally time for Apple to offer a 13.3" iBook.
Same size overall size as current 12" but a smaller border to accomodate the larger screen.

Funny I just came back from the dealer after playing with the two.
Unfortunately they just had the 700mhz in the 12" so it seemed rather sluggish with only 128mb.
The 800mhz (with 256mb) was in...

Given they have the 1mb of cache and still have 32 mb vram, shouldn't this model still perform pretty well?

CRT's look pretty good on different resolution (unlike my 15" LCD iMac).
However, is there one that looks best on the 17" monitor?
I'm guessing one of these:

My dealer tells me that there is no perceivable difference between the two. He says if you max the RAM on the 700, it will be just as fast as the 800.
But doesn't the 800 model have more VRAM?...

I hear what you're saying but it doesn't hold water.
Why can't there be a consumer line of black (or other colour) iBook/ iMac / eMac.

Rumour has it that there will be a G4 iBook at 733 w/L3 cache and a low end G4 600 w/o cache.
There was also word that it will have a slightly different form factor.
But my guess is that the...
