Check out my new Toy!!!!

See my new baby!!! :D

An Apple 17" PowerBook

I have been waiting for 3 months for this laptop too ship. I put my name on a waiting list back in January and I got the call today that it was in the store. I ran over too the Apple Soho store and fell in love. All I can say is... It's simply STUNNING!

17" diagonal TFT Widscreen Display
1 GB of RAM
60GB Ultra ATA/100 HD
Built-in Slot-loading DVD burner
NVIDIA GeForce4 440 with 64MB
Gigabit Ethernet
Built-in Bluetooth
Built-in 802.11b and 802.11g
2 Firewire 800 ports
2 USB ports
Digital Video out
S Video out

My favorite feature... Fiber optic Backlit keyboard with ambient light sensor too automatically adjust the keyboard and screen brightness based on the available ambient light. :D

Here it is!

Yes it's an Apple...

It's an Apple that can run OS X, UNIX and Win XP. I'm running all 3 as we speak. :D

Yeah, 1ghz G4. The thing that amazes me, it's so quiet. I've been using it nonstop setting it up and the hardrive is silent and the fan turned on once and I could barely hear it.

I'm sitting in the dark watching my keyboard glow. :lol:

To be honest with you Intel's preformance are far behind from AMD.

The more RAM you have the faster Virtual PC runs. I get about PIII 800-850 speed. Which is fine for what I need Windows for.
