Wahey what can i say, i was abit disapointed in the time it took to get it delivered. I was expecting it to be 2-3 days as it says on the site, at least thats what i was expecting - later did i realise in the terms and conditions thats how long til its being shipped. In fact it was a little longer, it took 16 days to get delivered >< I live in England but for some reason it was shipped from the Netherlands.

So anyway, its here all nice nothing damaged. Keyboard needs abit of getting used too keep missing the buttons :/

Trying to figure out how to get system specs now. Make sure all my upgrades have been done ^_^

how do you like your new ibook?

i'm in the same boat. i got mine 2 weeks ago and i love it =] i had to upgrade my ram from 256 to 768 so that i can run my programs (adobe creative suite) more efficiently.

the only complaint that i have is the slow bootup and hard drive response. maybe this is in regards to comparison to my pc desktop which seems to be a lot faster. but honestly, the complaint i have isn't that much of a big deal for me. i mostly work on my desktop, and i only use my ibook (for now) around the house if i want to move freely and still have internet access. and the ibook comes in handy in school, with me using the notebook inbetween classes to work on projects and what not.

the main thing i like about it is the looks, im not all that fussed about os x really, might try sticking linux on it see what its like.

the case seems to scratch really easy, already got a 2 inch scratch on the top (can only see it if you look at it from a certain angle). Also fingerprintsa are really easy to see. But its so pwwwwwwetty xD

The hard drive in an iBook is generally a 4200RPM drive, which is most likely much slower than the one in your desktop. One advantage the iBook has, however, is that you shouldn't need to boot it all the time. Just put it to sleep when you aren't using it by closing the lid. It can last in sleep mode for a week or more on a good battery.

what i did is that i made a custom sleeve for my ibook. it cost me $3 at walmart to purchase half a yard of this material from their fabric section, that is REALLY REALLY soft. i dont know what its called, but just think of the feeling of cotton balls. it worked really well, and since it's white, it matches the ibook.

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
