MacBook
Posted by Michael Dale on Wed, 17 May 2006 12:46 AMWell the MacBook is finally out. I'm contemplating getting one.
Also I've noticed that my last post broke IE and really anyone running sub 1600x1050. Sorry about that, go buy a bigger screen ;)
On another note, I got an email from one of my friends at usyd:
Sydney Uni is selling original iMacs for $50!!! I don't know if you have any
use for super cheap old computers, but I thought I'd tell you anyway. The
School of Languages is trying to get rid of them. Maybe for spare parts,
extra storage space (although the one I saw I had a hard drive of a whopping
4 GB - not much storage space there!)???? Anyway, I thought you might like
to know.
So if anyone wants cheap macs. I think I've got enough. On last count we now have 6 macs in the house :)
Any word on the battery life of the MacBook?
"up to" 6 hours. Less with wireless.
Yeah... I've just been reading reviews that suggest it's more realistic to expect 3-4 hours from them compared to the 6 hours from an iBook...
I'm still of many minds as to whether to buy a used Mac or a new one... I don't think I'll end up using it for anything but I need to be able to play with Keynote as I'm using it on G5's for work pretty much every second day now...
A DVD burner might be handy though... maybe I should get a G4 tower... hmm...
Want to sell me your iBook for a decent price?
I'd like more Macs. Can you ship on to the States? Thanks. ;)
