i don't know how you can handle 256mb in the ibook. sometimes 768mb in mine doesn't seem like it's enough.

I will be upgrading the RAM as soon as I can. It's not a high priority of mine though, I only really use the laptop for surfing the net, I have my iMac for everything else.

Thanks dude. It took me a little while to decide on something that I liked and that was functional. Not used a PC for personal use since I switched way back in January. Originally got a Mac Mini, my brother and his girlfriend have that now that I've got an iMac.

Bass87 - Nice gear, however there is no such thing as a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.......yet

Fogtripped - My bets are most people clean their desks before posting on Neowin!

Heheh, yeah that's what I meant, as soon as the Mighty Mouse is out in a bluetooth version then I'll snap it up.

Oh, and yes, I did clean my desk before taking the pic's. It's cluttered again now!

Why would anyone want to replace such a great mouse plus has so many buttons!

586322187[/snapback]

I know i want all my hardware to match, Apple hardware has a nice look to it, and adding a different mouse detracts from the "cleanness" of the white hardware... or something like that.

im sorry but the mighty mouse sucks its just apple fan boy hype, youd be a fool to change to it from your mx1000. My mx1000 and G5 are good friends they would stomp on a mighty mouse.

I've been using macs for about a year or two now, and have NEVER had a need for a right click or any other buttons. I do everything with my keyboard and i think it's faster. Why apple even made the top have two "regions" is beyond me.

Like somebody mentioned, I like all my hardware to match. With all the shiny white stuff on my desk (iMac, iBook) the black Logitech MX1000 looks a little out of place.

I will buy a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse when they are released, but I may eventually stay with the MX1000.

Bass and nitro...whered you guys get your desks and if you can...could you provide a link?

Mines a Jerker desk from Ikea. Mine's in the Black Ash colour.

bass if u dont mind me asking, how much was that desk?  i was thinking of replacing the one i have now with one from ikea but i am low on funds.  also what are the dimensions of it?

586326031[/snapback]

No problem.

The desk was ?58 I think when I bought it, which was about 3 months ago. Looks like the price has gone up to ?64 now though, according to XE.com thats $115.540.

The dimensions are:-

Width: 160 cm

Depth: 80 cm

Height: 72 cm

More than enough space and it is such a stable desk. Well worth the mone:yes:s:

    • I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.
    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you.
