17" powerbook
- Thread starter rideahyperLite
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Probably noticably faster. Of course if you're running an oddball application the P3 could be faster.
In all likelyhood the 17"PB will be much faster.
Re: Take note, citizens:
hahaha and its that the nature of public forum
seriously, TELL US ABOUT IT MOFO! run
xbench. how snappy is that thing with 10.2.4?
my 667 runs great under it. about every two to
three months the system seems to slow because
ive become use to the speed of the machine.
the first time i needed to reformat and reinstall
jagaur instead of doing the simple update...and
it was so much better. and now just a few days
ago i though hmmm this powerbook is nice but
it would be better to have a system with some
real horsepower....10.2.4 has shown me that
my powerbooks potential is slowly being revealed
with these updates. thank god. maybe my
system will continue to get faster
thanks apple.

It's not nice to brag, Ubergeek

Oh, yeah.
We're talking about AluPowerbooks here. Okay, that's a different story.
However, if you REALLLY, and TRULLY have a 17" PB, at least do us all a courtesy and post a picture of the back of the laptop as some sort of proof to keep the other users at bay.
If not, sacrifice your 17" by sending it to each of us in turn so we can try it out... ahem!
j/k. Hope you really do have it now. It must be sheer pleasure.

Yeah, it's tough to prove your point some times...
Yep. I remember back in the day when I turned a toaster oven into my current G3 desktop with a pair of match sticks. Friends called me "McGeneGiver" then and that was a good day, let me tell you...
I also remember when I invented the postage stamp. Nobody would believe me that I did it... But heck, there's just tons of envious people out there who wished they could have done it first, so, I figure, I'm A-okay in my book. And so is Ubergeek.

if you were SMART you would have realized that I have a life outside of Macrumors.
My dad works at Apple.
I am a girl.
I don't look at ANY kind of porn.
I'm almost 15.
Do you guys spend all your time looking at my profile? i thought this was a thread bout the 17" powerbook, not me.
The 17" pb is my dad's.
How long until I do get MINE? Probably two to three weeks.

Sorry for the inaccurate remarks...but you did leave it pretty ambiguous. But we got some of it right: Apple employee (or almost), and someone said you were 14 (maybe he looked at your profile).
But this is a start...tell us what you think of it. That's what we'd really love to hear. And what was it we were not supposed to see? A new iApp by chance?

My apologies, Uber. I was just joking....
A thousand, thousand apologies... Anyway, best of luck.
Huh. Now that I think about it, I guess most of us probably don't have lives. I just want to get to 500 posts so I can have my own avatar. j/k.
Still, it must be fun to have a relative working for Apple.

i'm so sorry i was just so depressed and i was thinking about how horrible and meaningless my life is.
My bf thinks i'm trying to get to 500 posts to get an avatar as well.
the thing you weren't supposed to see was...well something i was doing for my dad.

A life? Well, the computer and internet easily sucks one in.
So sorry to see you feel down. We all can go through this at one time or another (yours truly). And meaning is not always apparent. I think even when there is no apparent meaning, you have to go on, do things. We weren't meant to sit still. And that is a step in the right direction--to create a positive momentum. That is sometimes the best we can do and what we must do. The momentum will carry you forward. Talking with a good friend(s) helps more than you think--because you can't carry all the weight on your shoulders--and because they can be a reality check when you are off-center (like in a negative relationship).
I came to realize that I can't ultimately answer what is the meaning of life (or beyond)...other than living it. Stick to your core values while you live your life. And have faith you will find better waters. Realize that you can't look more than a few feet ahead (especially in these times), but that doesn't mean you won't be surprised by something good. Even though you may be down now, in a week, or a month, things could completely change and you'll never look back.
Hang in there!

Sorry, Uber, hope you find your smile...
Some days life seems meaningless. I guess that's why there should always be somebody there to keep trying...Luckily, many of those are your friends and family. Be strong and happy. Take time to be with your loved ones.
Count your blessings. Despite all the fears and sadness, that too will pass... it's still a beautiful world.
Good grief! I should be writing for Hallmark!

haha i know there are other less fortunate people out there-like my former boyfriend whose younger sis just passed away (actually that makes me feel worse as she was the smartest person i've ever met).
glow of a mac that many of you would die for? hehe.
Ah. That was unexpected.

Ubergeek isn't it funny how these macrumor threads can turn personal? I like that about this site, because after all we are human beings, not just machines whose lives consist only of acquiring other machines, (much as we love them).
Life has a way of changing overnight - as I'm experiencing first hand. I used to think about next week, next month, next year etc, but now all I'm thinking about is Chloe's next feed and nappy change.
Leukemia is a real bummer though, and I don't want to belittle what you're going through. Make the most of each day as it comes. "Tomorrow has enough troubles of it's own" (Matthew chapter 6, verse 34).
