New Ibooks And Powerbooks


Recommended Posts

what do u expect will be featured in the new powerbooks and ibooks that are rumored to be coming out as early as this week, some sites are saying that there will be a price drop and speed boost, but it will have to be more than just a speed boost to woo ppl to the powerbook of course ;)

i would like to see a gig of ram max for the ibook (if its possible) and 1.5 or 2 gigs max for the powerbook, it would be pretty sweet.

At powerpage.org they were showing what will be featured in the upcoming ibook update...

damn, i just wish apple could keep up their CPU speeds with the rest of them.

i know that the G4 processor has faster architecture than the P4 or AMD stuff, but other people just don't see that.

oh well, i'm a windows user anyway.

Well, considering a lowend mac desktop is a dual 867mhz, aka a 1.75 ghz machine. I think they're doing fine Ghz to Ghz wise :)

I think the iBook looks even better now. I can't wait until they get some refurb machines in :D

To be honest fellas, Apple is hangin by a thread anymore. It will take a lot to get even close to AMD and Intel.

think again mate. :happy:

i've been planning to buy a Powerbook before christmas but the iBook looks like a bargain now. so what do i get man.. powerbook?ibook?powerbook?ibook?

iBook is a little bit girlish imo.. but Powerbook is relatively extremely expensive compared to the new iBook. :( :cry: :wacko: :cry: :( :no:

ibook's now back on my list :p lol....800 mhz makes it sound sweet :s lol...

    • Flameshot 14.0 Final by Razvan Serea Flameshot is a free and open-source, cross-platform tool to take screenshots with many built-in features to save you time. Using Flameshot is as simple as launching, dragging the selection box to cover the area you want to capture, making annotations as needed in on-screen and saving the shot to your computer, all with a very simple and straightforward interface. Flameshot allows users to simply upload their screenshots directly to the cloud in order to easily share it with others. You can upload your image directly to Imgur with a single click and share the URL with others. In-app screenshot editing - You can choose to add an arrow mark, highlight text, blur a section (blur or pixelate an area), add a text, draw something, add a rectangular/circular shaped border, add an incrementing counter number, and add a solid color box with Flameshot's built-in editing tools. Command-line interface (CLI) - Flameshot has several commands you can use in the terminal without launching the GUI via a command line interface. The command line interface lets you script Flameshot and use it as the subject of key binds. Flameshot 14.0 release notes: This release brings major improvements to multi-monitor support, fractional scaling support, new capture workflows, and a long list of bug fixes across all platforms. Changelog: New Multi-Monitor Capture Workflow New monitor selection screen before capture for better multi-monitor and mixed-scaling support. Option to auto-capture the monitor under the cursor (X11 & Windows). Tray menu can directly select a monitor. Linux Improvements XDG Desktop Portal is now the primary screenshot method. Added legacy X11 fallback option for minimal window managers. New D-Bus capture API for scripting and automation. Windows Enhancements Global screenshot hotkeys now supported (not limited to Print Screen). New portable mode stores settings next to the executable. Clipboard now always uses PNG format for better compatibility. CLI & Platform Updates Redesigned flameshot screen command with per-monitor capture support. Added native Nix Flake support. More compact launcher UI and improved update notifications. Major Fixes Multiple Wayland stability fixes, including KDE Plasma crash fixes. Clipboard compatibility improvements for GNOME, Wayland, X11, Windows, and macOS. Fixed D-Bus hangs, capture crashes, and HiDPI region issues. Other Changes Dropped Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) support. Updated translations and build infrastructure. Intel macOS builds are no longer provided.
