Its hilarious (in a pathetic way) how people will lay out every damned piece of electronics they own when they take a pic of their "workstations"

Its pretty obvious how everything is laid out, lined-up, and "on display"

This isn't a show-n-tell - we want to see people's desks/workstations/computers -- not their lame ass motorola, and some puny pathetic ipod nano :rolleyes:

Can you take a few pictures for me? I cant seem to find good shots on it online, like pictures of the top and the front of the laptop. Thanks! :D

you cant take pictures of ideapads, they will instantly fall apart upon sight of the camera flash - they are junk -- dont confuse them with the ThinkPads which are the best/most reliable laptops on the market.

ideapads - plastic

ThinkPad - titanium & magnesium alloy

@trek: Would be nice to have my laptop closed while connected to an external, but it can't be done. Mainly because it automatically shuts off the display but also because it gets quite warm.

Your settings must be wrong. You should be able to use your laptop (minus the heat issue) closed while the external display remains on.

lol TamilBoy86, funny that you post up your workstation because I was going to make a request for you to post it. good timing.

although i'm still against having a macbook as a 24/7 windows notebook. :whistle:

lol... MacBook Pro + Win 7 is the best combination I'v ever had :D :cool:, its still a pc inside :p

But why do you do that? You could've gotten a PC for much MUCH less with similar specs, if not better. All you're paying for is the brand, the poor design/heat, and OS X.

Quality build.... I'v seen my friends Dell, HP, my sisters 2xHP and my 2xAcer... all of them **** quality, and always some problems... noisy plastik cases, crappy design... MacBook Pro on the other hand looks great, alu-case, simple clean design, thin, great battery life and powerfull in the same time... I don't like OS X, the way you shift around with windows and application sucks big time and the dock is crap too, I work much faster in windows, especially Windows 7(superbar :D)... I haven't had any heat issuse with mine yet... My sister is also going to buy a MacBook Pro 13" this month and will be using Win 7 on it, she got tired of her HP laptops :p

the battery in windows 7 is worse than it is in OSX, from what i've read.

Its really good :woot: .. maybe people should learn to dim the screen and set it to power saver mode or balanced mode :p... it doesn't automaticly dim the screen in windows like it does in OS X.....

If you're looking at the MBP rather than the Macbook, have you considered looking at real professional PC laptops instead of consumer garbage? Lenovo Thinkpad, DELL Precision, and HP Elitebook and Probook models all come to mind and are exceptional in build quality compared with DELL and HPs consumer lines which are much like the macbook.

Agreed, and if you take care of your laptop, it will last. My Compaq has been humming along for 6 years, and I've accidentally dropped it once (it was padded drop though). That thing is a 6 pound brick, and build quality is great, no flex on the chasis. Thinkpad though...not even Apple can touch them. I have a Dell Latitude E6500, and surprisingly it's built really well, and easily blazes through a day with 6-7 hours of battery with WiFi/Bluetooth on.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
