Your Mac Hardware Setup

Why 3 laptops basically the same size?

Just keeping the PowerBook as a collectors item.

MacBook Pro is for work.

MacBook Air is my personal notebook. Love it since day one!

My guess is he prefers notebooks with smaller displays for portability sake.

I'm the same... I'd pick the 11.6'' MBA over the 13.3'' model any day.

Pretty much.

Well...upgrading to the base model 21.5" iMac from Apple under Applecare. My iMac 20" (mid-2007), system has had it's host of troubles from hard drive failures to Superdrive failures finally ending up in my headphone jack stopping working on the left channel. Throw in a randomly freezing USB system, I decided it was time to call them up. They agreed to replace my system and since they didn't have anything in their old systems to replace with are sending me this one:

21.5-inch iMac

Configuration

* 3.06GHz Intel Core i3

* 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB

* 500GB Serial ATA Drive

* ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB GDDR3 SDRAM

* 8x double-layer SuperDrive

* Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (English) & User's Guide

* Magic Mouse

* Country Kit

The processor I have now is 2.0ghz so a nice little upgrade and then the video will be better I think. Not certain though as I haven't gone through all my stats on my current system, but will be shipping that out tomorrow or the next day to them and then getting the new one in about a week. Will be losing my 640gb hard drive in it now, but not too worried as I never use more than 300gb at a time it seems. :)

Of course, if I wanted to, I could have gotten more for extra $$$ but since it is a straight across exchange, I am pretty happy 'bout it.

Now, of course, I don't know exactly how things work where you live but the US got pretty good consumer laws too if I am not mistaken. Over here in Sweden if a device (or whatever really) breaks in the same way 3 times or different ways 4 (might have changed to just breaks 3 now) you "cancel" the purchase and get a full refund, can't imagine there isnt something similar in the US, so really don't think you would have needed the apple care :p but it's pretty sweet none the less :p

Repost from the workstations thread. I think there's enough Apple that it belongs here too. :p

I did a little re-arranging today.

From left to right:

RadioShack Pro-164 radio scanner

Logitech Z-2300 Speakers (sub is under the printer on the floor)

LG 22" LCD

21.5" iMac (most recent generation)

iPhone 4 16gb

iPad 64gb wifi+3G

13" MacBook Air ultimate (most recent generation)

And of course the little Apple remote in the middle for the Apple TV (off frame to the right with my tv/360)

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
