Cool 'Book Similarity

[Quad 2.5 G5 =)]

Aluminum PowerBook Users-

When you use your 'Book in public especially if you have the 15" or 17"
do people sometimes say that they like your "MacBook Pro"
and that you are so lucky to afford one?

 

[S-Man]

WTF?

 

[mikes70mustang]

so your trying to drum up a convo on how its cool to be a MBP poser?

 

[capriseyhaze]

whomp whomp

I think he is asking the powerbook users if they had their "books" mistaken for macbook pros(Non unibody)? Am i right?

Chill, dude. He's not a poser, he thinks it's funny that people mistake aluminum PBs for MBPs.

Someone even mistaked my iBook for a MacBook

I don't lie about the exact model and say it is a MBP, and all my powerbooks are quite free of dings and dents.

What is your problem? So you have a MacBook Pro, you're not King of the Universe.

 

[mikes70mustang]

just saying......kinda useless thread. King of the universe? what are you 15?

The different I/O layout and the palmrest vents are much easier to spot.

i think ive yet to see a PB thats not riddled with dents either. I think they have a VGA and not a DVI right?

I've had plenty of people see me with my 12" PowerBook and ask me "Is that the one that goes in the envelope?"

And for the record, it's not dented, and has one scratch on the battery; I take care of my baby

Yes. I am, actually. Nice guess.

Well, sorry for over-reacting. It looked to me that you were basically calling Powerbooks crappy machines, but I guess you weren't.

Nope. DVI.

You must be seeing the wrong Powerbooks

 

[noodle654]

I love the PB and original MBP...they will live on!

Here be my PowerBook (12" 1.5GHz) that's not riddled with dents; now you can say you've seen one

Any my PowerBook, the slightly lower-performance 12" machine, can happily drive a 23" Cinema Display through a pure digital connection using its Mini-DVI port; the 15" and 17" PowerBooks had a full-size DVI port on 'em. Cheers!

no not crappy, id still take it over a new XPS. Its kinda a shame that programming isnt gonna work on it anymore.
