It looks awesome in person. I thought the black was going to be absolutely hideous but it doesn't look like the cheap black plastic... dang im pissed I don't have the money
Yeah thats what I thought at first.thejadedmonkey said:
But it's bundled up in zip ties with all of the other cables.

Believe it or not (stupid as this sounds) it's the security "system" they have on these models, it's glued to the top case, but plugged in via USB. They don't use the security lock, so it'd be easy to walk out of there with one

really? They use ethernet on the MacBook Pros at my apple store.
So if you unplug it an alarm sounds and the iBook takes a pic of your mug.amacgenius said:Believe it or not (stupid as this sounds) it's the security "system" they have on these models, it's glued to the top case, but plugged in via USB.

Then the Apple thugs (like that big black guy in the Roger pics) take you out.
Do you know where I could get a hi-res of that image (the macbook)?mzlin said:
The smooth dull blackness of the case against the glassy shiny blackness of the screen, contrasting and yet reinforcing each other at once, emanating a cold efficient lethality ... where have I seen that before?
Oh yes! I've got it!
Would make a great desktop.
That picture did it for me. Ordering tonight, white, 2.0GHz, SuperDrive, 100GB harddrive and 1GB ram.amacgenius said:I posted this picture on flickr of one in the store (same model I'll be buying):

You can see stuff being reflected in the MacBooks screen. Darn glossy screen.
That would drive me crazy.

Is that a 12" iBook? Cuz if it is I would be very gratefull if you would take some pictures comparing their size and design. The thing is that I right now have a 12" ibook that I got last tuesday which means that I have until tuesday next week to find out wheter or not I want to return this for a Macbook, the problem is size, I really don't want a laptop much bigger then my ibook.
Or if someone else have pictures of a 12" ibook and a macbook I would very much like to see them.
DKS, the 13.3" is a totally different form factor than the 12" because its wide screen, im torn as well with my 12" PB and selling it to get the MacBook im holding on mine for a min but i do think that since you just picked up the 12" i would go ahead return it for the MacBook considering how much more your getting and your staying ahead with the Technology with a faster processor and ram.

I've started a size comparison thread, for those who don't have access to an Apple store anytime soon. There's a picture comparing a P-Book to a MacBook. The P-Book is a very similar size to the iBook.

Thanks a great initiativ.
I know, I know. It's faster and better in anyway possible, except size.. But I actually really like my iBook, it's plenty fast for my everyday use, though iWeb is not all that fast.
But the size is the important factor, I really like my iBook for the size..

Where can I get those tie things that keep the usb/speakers/ethernet wires togather?
Here in da USA their called zip-ties. Any office supply store has them. It's also useful to have a zip-tie cutter, so you can trim them to size, and cut then off once your done.Moshiiii said:
Their made out of pretty hard plastic so cutting them with scissors is a *****.

Me too... i went to the apple store to check the glossybooks out yesterday...
They are VERY nice, but i cant handle the glossy screen... i could see every overhead light reflected in the screen at most angles... noticed no reflections on the matte screens of the MBP's... (and never have with my old PBG4)
pictures did look really nice on the glossy's... colors were rich, blacks were black... but just too reflective for me... my office has a big window and overhead lighting.... also like to bring the powerbook out to the hammock with me to do a little surfing... dont see that happenng with a glossy screen...
Edit: oh yeah... if you buy a black one... get some touch up paint! the black macbook on display at the local store had only been out that day and already had a big scratch all the way through the paint on the top of the macbook (white underneath)
Thanks for the info. I'm gonna need to make a trip to staples tomarrow, Whip my cables into shape!
I too like to go on the hammock with my PowerBook.Electro Funk said:
See having a matte display is a must.
Go for it. Kick some cables butts!Moshiiii said:
