| _________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 9:28pm - sxealex ""] but ssd 64 gig option |
| _______________________________ [Jan 15,2008 9:55pm - boine ""] ya the concept is great they just need to squeeze that cd drive in there and its amazing |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 9:57pm - the_reverend ""] 8yawn* |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 9:58pm - the_reverend ""] unless they squeeze in a second mouse button that is. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 9:59pm - the_reverend ""] oh and the one with a SSD is over $3K and the processor is only 1.6Ghz |
| __________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 10:01pm - sxealex ""] well 1.8 but still not very quick... still its fucking thin as your dick. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 10:01pm - sxealex ""] well ok almost as thin as your dick |
| __________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 10:02pm - sxealex ""] im sure the ssd will be standard in the next gen and it will probably be 1499 in the next year |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 10:06pm - the_reverend ""] SSDs won't compete with HDs price wise til late 2010 |
| ________________________________________________________ [Jan 15,2008 10:20pm - ArrowHead likes Ellios Pizza ""] I'm probably going to buy my first laptop this year. This won't be it. Mac laptops are pretty slick, but I think this thing is too much cash for a bunch of gimicky fluff. |

| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:10pm - sxealex ""] oh cd/dvd burner |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:15pm - the_reverend ""] what is the processor? 65nm, I think, but what name? that isn't a bad price for an ultra portable. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:16pm - sxealex ""] naw its not yea they do have some way over priced compies im not gonna lie but they have reasonable shit too |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:19pm - the_reverend ""] refurbs are cheap from them. but then you are buying 2 generations ago instead of 1 generation ago. I've had a laptop with that processor in it for a year. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:19pm - sxealex ""] T7300 ? does that make sense for a name? i dunno what they are called |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:20pm - sxealex ""] i dunno never looked into refurbs |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:32pm - the_reverend ""] the t7300 is in line. must be the 65nm verion. the 90nm is a T7200 and the 90mm 2.1ghz is the T7400 |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:36pm - sxealex ""] oh word yea the t7500 is in the 1299 version |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:40pm - the_reverend ""] there are T7600 and T7800 now too. if you didn't know, mac got intel to shrink the footprint of the t7x00 line to take up a lot less room. I would need to look it up, but all the t7x00 might be 65nm and not 90nm. not sure. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:41pm - the_reverend ""] when I originally saw the prices, they were $3099 for a 1.8ghz and a 32gb SSD |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:41pm - sxealex ""] yea the shrunken one is only in that new laptop tho |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:44pm - the_reverend ""] yes, the new mac air... is that not the price you quoted above? if that's for a normal macbook, that's a crappy price and 2x dell's cost for a D620 with better specs. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:44pm - sxealex ""] macbook is 1 inch thich macbook air is like .7 inches at the biggest part and something around .2 inches at the smallest. macbook air is the one with the shrunken core 2 duo |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:44pm - sxealex ""] regular macbook is 1099 |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:45pm - sxealex ""] http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?family=MacBook |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:45pm - sxealex ""] macbook air is 1799... really not worth it yet |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:46pm - sxealex ""] but dells are pieces of shit |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:49pm - sxealex ""] link me to a cheaper dell... i just went to look and it was more expensive for the same specs |
| __________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:55pm - Niccolai ""] sxealex said:# 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo # 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x512MB # 80GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm +bluetooth +firewire +webcam +wifi +13.3 inch glossy display $1,099 not that bad a price Jesus. I'd hate to see what constitutes a 'bad' price for one. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 5:58pm - Niccolai ""] sxealex said:but dells are pieces of shit Mines actually nasty. I would take a dell XPS Ai1 over the best mac you can throw together. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 6:12pm - sxealex ""] someone link me to the cheap dell laptops that have similar specs |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 6:48pm - the_reverend ""] then again, I don't want to defend the mac or pc. if either one of them comes out with a 45nm quadcore laptop, I will jump on it. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 9:17pm - sxealex ""] i had a dell once. but it was a POS and i dont mean point of sale system |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 9:18pm - sxealex ""] dell laptop* |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 9:20pm - sxealex ""] there is no huge advantage to mac hardware except its cool looking... but its stupid when people shit on it all day long like its a waste of money. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 9:31pm - screwy ""] Macs are for people who like Sufjan Stevens |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 9:35pm - xanonymousx ""] thing looks awesome, but no cd drive or usb ports? how big are these hard-drives? how am i going to get my cd's on my computer? this could change the way we use computers. or atleast apple's trying to make us. i think i'll just get a macbook pro for $200 more and have a bigger screen and a cd drive. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 9:38pm - the_reverend ""] the problem with macs is that you pay a premium for the "cool look" but in the end, their hardware specs are a year behind. Which dell laptop model did you have? |

| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 9:44pm - sxealex ""] i dunno i sold it nathan |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2008 9:45pm - sxealex ""] i forget the model... i tried to run fedora 4 on it and it sucked |
