Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

I'm taking it :p. I'll wait for the next set of Macs. Many plans or rumors to update the Mac Pro?

The PowerMac (Mac Pro) has proven to be one of the most stable models what it comes to the addition of new hardware and/or features. In 9 out of 10 cases they only saw updates when new/faster CPUs/GPUs where released.

I hope finder gets a facelift in Leopard. I was thinking it would actually look really nice if it used the Mail interface. Unified toolbar, the sidebar becomes a source list but it doesn't use the plastic buttons.

I'm hoping for bigger UI changes than that. ;)

Mail's "pill" toolbar buttons are actually part of Xcode now (if I'm not mistaken), which means every 3rd party developer can start implementing them into their own applications. The question remains if Apple will be sticking with the current image resources.

LED LCD is NOT coming anytime soon, some people took the anouncement from samsung a bit too far. The displays they were showing are only capable of 262K colors http://aving.net/usa/news/default.asp?mode...mp;mn_name=news

^^ Sony has one as well.

Apple will be using it in the 2nd quarter is the rumour.

Your first link is talking about a small OLED status display on the front edge of the Toshiba, and your other two links are talking about LED backlights (to replace the flourescent ones currently in use), not an actual OLED display. And FWIW, there is no such thing as an "LED LCD", as the two are totally different things. There are LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels and there are OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) panels, but calling something "LED LCD" makes no sense at all from a technical standpoint.

Wiat for 45nm and LED LCD to be put into the iMAC or their future laptops... thats what im doing.. possibly ddr 3 will be in them as well :x

You do know that "LED LCD" simply means that the regular LCD screen is backlit by LEDs instead of fluorescent bulbs, right?

If you're gonna say "LED LCD", you might as well say "Fluorescent LCD".

Mmm i'm not so sure that Leopard it's a polished version of Tiger... remember that since now you've only see the 'under the hood' features, something like core Animation worth alone the update for me. Just think how new applications will be affected by this technology (iLife '07 in primisi... )

you do relize that this build is from January 17 and a new release hasn't been issued to ADC members since, these screen shots are old news .Neo..... Apple is taking there time with the developer releases for some reason its not the same sched that the tiger betas where on last year..sort of strange really....

As long as it hasn't been posted before and as long as there isn't a new build out it's not old news.

I believe Apple is deliberately making a lame GUI to throw us off as they did with the iPhone mockups. I believe Leopard will have a system wide new icons and a completely revamped GUI. I believe they gave their designers freedom to create a bunch of stuff they like, hence the matrix style.

Let's hope so. About everyone here thought the same thing during the Mac OS X Tiger betas tho. ;)

Well, Apple has to already redesign things to be vector based. It doesn't make sense why they would redesign things to be indentical if not worse. Besides didn't Apple say Aqua is dead when they released iTunes 7? I dun think they will continue to use that design. Besides they already have a different GUI on the iPhone, which is said to run Leopard, in addition AppleTV has a darker glass like interface aswell. I strongly believe Apple is just throwing us off on purpose.

Terminal isn't ugly, but it didn't really need this overhaul...

I have to admit that I was digusted by the iPhone mockups, even though I thought it was more practical because you could fit a 5" screen into a 5.5" iPhone.

The X11 icon is ugly because of what's surround the X IMO and because of its color.

I don't know if Aqua is dead or not, but iTunes 7 does seem to have a new take on it, and it only makes sense that said look would be implemented system wide.

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
