Update:Apple Laptop

[mikey]

After the well educating last "Apple Laptop thread," I went out and purchased an 800 mhz with 640 mb 30 GB harddrive 14 inch Apple ibook with CD/DVD combo drive. This is the perfect configuration for my needs. Video plays clear in real time on all sites with video and there are none of the problems I have with the 500 mhz. This makes my second Apple product. Unfortunately, I still do not own an ipod. Its the snow model. Pics will be posted soon

Was it hard finding one this old? Sounds like a circa 2002 model. Glad it meets your needs though.

Well, no actually. I just wanted a more powerful Mac to stream online video smoother. I thought the clamshell was funny looking. In my further research, techies get very angry over adding Vista to a Mac. I think a Mac should stay a Mac. Any thoughts?

I don't think you can run Parallels or VMWare Fusion on non Intel Macs. Does Microsoft still have Virtual Machine for Power PC Mac's? I'm not sure.

I do know that Vista runs a little slower on my Intel MacMini with 1 GB ram. Never tried Vista on my Black MacBook with 4GB ram.

If you want a legal retail copy of Windows XP Pro or Home, better hurry. MS stopped shipping XP to retailers on June 30, 2008. White Box OEM 's still get to sell XP until January 31, 2009. Some OEM versions of XP do not run under Parallels or Fusion. I don't know about Virtual Machine.

I have a nice 2.2Ghz Compaq with Vista. I wanted the mac cuz to me its the Rolex of laptops IMHO. I am going to do a group photo of my little stable of laptops. I was also thinking of putting Mac OSX on my PS3. I saw a youtube video that it can be done. Then again you can put OSX on any PC. LOL
