    15" Macbook Pro - in flight power dilemma

    I have a 14 hour flight on Sunday from Toronto to Hong Kong and my seat has a 75W power outlet (110V). My MBP however, requires 85W. I've read people have been successful with using the Macbook 60W magsafe to run a Macbook Pro or to charge the battery (probably not the best idea), just not...

    Capabilities of the Macbook vs MBP

    If you can wait till you get your papers from college, I recommend you join the Apple Student Developer Connection (ADC). Unlike the regular student discount, Apple will need confirmation (course schedule + ID) that you are enrolled in college/university before you can join and take advantage...

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    Yup, it is a Griffin Powermate. It was an impulse buy a couple years back, but I've found it pretty useful (volume, firefox tab scroller, PS brush size, Flash time line scrubber, etc.) Here's a night shot of my setup...

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    The desk is the elusive Ikea Jerker Desk (discontinued, but they replaced it with a smaller model called "Fredrik"). The monitor stand is the same shelf combo on the wall (Ikea JÄRPEN + SLINGA), just resting on the desk itself. As for the audio, it's nothing special. The amp/reciever is a...

    I can't believe I'm actually looking at Macs

    No way anyone would paint over the aluminum body, laser etch maybe ;) There are two light sensors in the speaker grills that adjusts the screen brightness and keyboard back light automatically (or you can set it manually). I haven't tried gaming through OS X yet. The only native OS X game I...

    I can't believe I'm actually looking at Macs

    I just made the "switch" two weeks ago. It was a toss up between a T61p and a Macbook Pro. I just finished my last week of college, but before I was officially done, I joined the Apple student ADC (developer connection) program which allows 1 discount on a hardware purchase. I got a 15"...

    Need suggestions for travel/graphic work notebook

    I am looking for a 15" notebook that will serve me well during a 3 month trip to Asia. I am a freelance graphic designer/web developer/photographer, so screen resolution and colour reproduction will be key. A notebook with enough juice to run 3dsmax would be an asset, but not critical. Gaming...
