Thought I'd post my unveiling pics.

(side note: my wireless mouse interferes with my wireless sky set up sadly)

git, i want one so badly, but i'm not sure if i'll be paid enough to get one. where's the cheapest place to get one brand new? UK btw.
NeoXY
why not a 12 inch PB?
Goldin
ibook looks cooler and is cheaper smile.gif or least it's what i think
Amnesia
yep i chose it because I think it looks nicer. (of course the price factor applies)
I already have an iMac and Mac mini and my primary pc is a Toshiba P20 Dual processor.
THis one is for trips and stuff.
I really think it looks much nicer anyway.
I was told they'd send me Tiger if it's released this month for free.
Thats great since i'll install it on my other pc's wooo
NeoXY
looks nicer?...tongue.gif....nah....I love the looks of my PB...but meh....it's up to you...anyways...congrads...smile.gif..and you really have a lot of money don't you?....laugh.gif

But I do have a question though...I personally own a 15inch PB but the thing is, I always wanted to go 12inch because I basically carry it around with me everyday to classes and such, but I never had the guts to convert to 12inch because I'm think the screen is way too small and I'll have trouble actually reading what is on the screen...tongue.gif...and I'm wondering...how much difference is there between your iBook 12inch and your iMac? (which I would assum is 17inch or 20inch...)
Amnesia
lol why do people think I have so much?

I save up and buy stuff when I see something I like.

Plus I basically do this, buy something i like, say a iBook. I sell mine as soon as a new one is out
and pay the difference.

So I basically end up getting new stuff for cheaper. (like paying for an upgrade)

Trust me though, I'm wasting TOO much money. If I was back home, I'd be a millionaire (just joking BTW), England is too expensive.

edit:
I think it's fine to be honest.
My Mac mini has a 14inch and it feels a bit small (because I have a 17 wide inch laptop)
but the 12 inch is much better than I thought.
It's the keyboard that's a bit cramped (i dont like the fact that the shift button is small (perhaps thats on all iBooks))

It feels good to be honest. I say make the conversion. Fonts look fin, res is nice, only thing you might be disappointed with is that if you use widgets, it looks a bit crowded.

Wow looks sweet!

Two months ago i got my 14" iBook.

I woke up so early to open it, i was so ecstatic.

I was just staring at it for hours, in awe of it sexyness.

I'll never understand this wild anticipation of the opening of a new Mac many experience, ah well my loss I guess, although i've never really used one to be honest, so maybe thats why I don't understand it, they do look sexy however.
CruJones
Thats awesome man. I'm jealous
Amnesia
thanks for the nice words guys, just makes me feel more greatfull for having one.
@marduk, i guranatee using one and actually owning one are totally different experiences.
The ibook (with cheapest specs comes to 650 or something) i think it's worth it in my opinion.
To anyone considering buying one, I highly recommend it.
It's sweet, and sexy, but it's kind of like a PSP, you dont want it to get scratched.

its casue they're so beautiful, and especially for the ibooks and powerbooks they're all shiny and new

ive heard taht people have actually carefully rewrapped their ipods back in the box so that they can open it again and get that feeling again

lol its like a drug: yo... i got ipod... wanna light up?

What's that red sticker? And what kind of sleeve is that? I have a 12" PB but it never had any stickers ON the laptop (near the power button). Thanks smile.gif
tiagosilva29
Would you buy/give me one of those? (<_<) Such an iCutie.
Amnesia
@tiag, well I would if I was filthy rich and my girlfriend wouldn't scream at me to death for wasting money tongue.gif

@huy, the sleep is a tuccsano iBook sleeve (from the apple store) looks nice and says made in italy. That sticked says Press and Hold to eject cd. Guess people were having a hard time finding it. Actually when I saw it I was like. Wow, I just touch the corner! I misunderstood tongue.gif
