Run's like crap. I have a 15" PB 1.5ghz 1.5gb ram and a 17" 1.67ghz. Both run like crap with leopard. Maybe it isn't noticeable to everyone, but I certainly noticed the slowdown in launching applications and opening finder. It just was not as quick as Tiger. Don't even think about using...

Magsafe charger = moot point mini display port = I'll pass integrated speakers = crappy led backlit lcd = like ips panel = like integrated camera = like integrated speaker = ok height adjustment = no screen rotation = no As an owner of a 30" ACD, the top 3 features don't amount for...

You'll always pay more for a lighter laptop. That's just the way it is. I could've bought a macbook pro for what I spent, but then I'd be carrying what? 5.5 lbs everywhere? I already carry enough stuff with me during the day. 2.5 lbs less makes things way more portable. Again it depends on...

Uhmm, you're wrong. a ULV Core 2 Duo chip is not that slow. Perhaps the worst thing in systems today is the I/O rate. I'm willing to put my Lenovo x300 against any drive running a mechanical hard drive and see which one opens crap faster. For how slow a 1.2ghz ulv core 2 duo is, it literally...

Anyone who buys Sony notebooks is a narb. Enjoy your 2 week turn around time in case they ever break down. Oh and don't you have to be at the gym in 26 minutes too? I thought so.

Yeah that'd be great! Then we can all bitch about how unreliable Mac OSX is on multiple configurations of hardware. If there's one thing OSX sucks at, it's compatibility with hardware. Apple is never going to license OSX to other makers because then you'd have a crapload of complaints about...

Within 14 days? Get an exchange ASAP. Else, Take it to the genius bar and get it fixed. This is not normal behavior. You got a lemon.

Just quickly looking at the pictures in this threadl, What's that thing in the middle ghostchild? It seems out of place.

A computer getting you laid? Yeah sure.... I hope no nerd takes this guy seriously....Drink more kool aid my friend... Next thing you'll say "Playing WOW will get you Laid"...... <rationality> Working out at the gym might have more of an impact than buying a mac.... </rationality>

Not Worth it, buy a new one. You're never going to get a deal buying broken apple products $200 + $480 (maybe) $200 + $689 (more likely) $200 + 729 (more likely) $680 $889 $929 Buy a new one, You can get a new 20" Imac refurb for the price you would pay for repairs. Apple does...

Not to hate on Apple, but I'm going to have to recommend against Apple monitors unless you get the warranty. You're asking for problems if you get an Apple monitor, though I must admit they are nicely designed. Two of them at work crapped out when the power supply went bad for one of them...

Most cheap LCD's are fine for normal people, because they won't be able to tell what color accuracy is or backlight bleed if they don't notice it, but all of the cheap panels have these problems. Now don't get me wrong, I bought 2x 225bw's and those are crap monitors when it comes to quality...

You play orange box just fine on your computer because you're playing at 1440 x 900. Hook up an external display and watch the framerates go down if you crank it up to 1900 x 1200. Gaming will be fine, but don't count on playing any new games at great framerates. Aside from that, you'll be...

Hey Dan, I would either live with it or return it. All of those 24" monitors in that price range are more prone to defects and quality control issues. It's unfortunate, but the old ideology still holds true. You get what you pay for Now, I'm not trying to be an ass, I sympathize with...

Just got my LCD2190Uxi BK, another one on the way tomorrow and the monitors seem a lot heavier (higher quality) then LCD monitors that have TN panels. I recently ordered a Multisync 20WMGX2 and the color difference is like night and day. Will more pictures as I setup the monitor. My Nec...

I use a mac and a pc, but one the longtime complaints about vista is that flip 3d sucks. Well I sort of agree, so a gracious 3rd party has produced a plugin for windows that mimics expose. Works well too :-) It's also more customizeable than expose as well. http://insentient.net/...

Isn't this a thread about LCD setups? Not pictures of things on your LCD screen?

Being less expensive to produce does not necessarily mean that the costs will be passed onto us. I have a sneaking suspicion that LCD's will stay remain the lower end of the market and FED will be the upper end of the market for a long time thus out of the range of most consumers. We've seen the...

LCD's = Here to Stay indefinitely. Even if a new technology comes along, there will be crap monitors using that technology as well as high end monitors. Don't think that just because we're going to embrace a new technology means we're going to get better monitors without any problems. Expect...

NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXI-BK Black 24" LCD Monitor http://www.superwarehouse.com/NEC_MultiSync_LCD2490WUXI-BK_Black_24_LCD_Monitor/LCD2490WUXI-BK/p/1498376 $1137.99 Very Pricey, but an absolute must if you love accurate colors.

Should've jumped on this deal Scored 2x of them. These are $1200 monitors! http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=a0637563&cs=04&c=us&l=en&dgc=BF&cid=7421&lid=197378

As long as you're doing well that's fine, but you should probably still strive for more sleep. I use to get very little sleep as well because I like to maximize my time doing other things besides work, but the results aren't pretty in the long term. Now, I'm not going to go out on a limb and...

Are you serious? :eek:

Not to be mean or condescending or off topic, but there are other things in life besides playing video games till the ass crack of dawn. I know its a hobby and addiction, but only getting 3-4 hrs of sleep per night is not healthy and will weaken your immune system. Get some sleep and think of...

If you ever leave your computer in sleep for a long time, the battery becomes depleted and when you reconnect, your mac will lose the time and date. (Gets reset to a day in 1969). In any case, if this happens to you often when you leave the computer to sleep without AC power and the battery gets...

No copy and paste, biggest drawback ever. Say I wanted to look up a website online, then paste an address in maps. No go. Iphone cannot copy and paste. touch screen is nice and phone calls are good, speakerphone could and should be louder. No 3g, wifi is the only way to go. AT&T EDGE sucks.

The 20WMGX2 will decrease in value. It comes with an analog tuner. On February 17, 2009, analog sets without a converter box will cease to work. LCD screens will only <B>DECREASE</B> in value. They are not an investment like vintage audio equipment since brightness decreases over the life of the...

You're 16 years old. Get a job and work for it.

You can probably run the 8800GT as a secondary card in OSX next to your X1900, but OSX will not take advantage of the card. The card will only be seen under windows since OSX doesn't see the specialized rom on the 8800GT because it doesn't exist. There's a reason why mac video cards are...
