Have not posted my setup for a while... Might as well, though be warned it is a mess.. Currently paying ?40 a week to live here, its a bargain. Was going to move into a nicer place but id rather pay less so I can save up to get my own flat quicker. :)

Ignore the quality, i only have the camera on my HTC hero and it is dark in here..

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.

They might have good build quality but they are really ugly :x .. I really hate the Thinkpad design, the most boring design ever. I would rather buy the White MacBook.... MBP = Quality build + Super Design thats why I bought it, and Im more than happy with it... ;)

I took alot of care with both of my old Acer laptop, not even a scratch... 1 year and it gave me problems... So did my sisters HP...

They calculate the battery life by disabling pretty much everything that consumes power. This includes:

- Disabling WiFi, Bluetooth

- Backlight on dimmest setting

- No applications running

Of course, everyone uses WiFi, and probably runs applications on their laptops too, so actual battery life probably won't be as high.

The wireless productivity test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing various websites and editing text in a word processing document with display brightness set to 50%.

Why do i get a feeling you prefer laptops over desktop computer? :p

How many of those ever leave the house? And how often? :p

Just because it doesn't leave the house doesn't mean it isn't a reason to choose a laptop. I like having the ability to sit anywhere in the house and use my computer, the sofa, my bed in my bedroom. Just that extra freedom is great.

To be able to sit away from the desk is the main bonus.

Here's my current, nothing exciting here at Uni except for the router allowing me to sit on my bed with my laptop, removing the constraints of the wire and the desk :)

Yes, my laptop has a Centrino 2 and a Vista sticker on it, but it has a C2D and Windows 7 in/on it ;)

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.....

I find that too with mine, and unless you manually dim the battery life is poor. Its a shame as I really like my MacBook but Bootcamp is becoming a bit of a pain so I might end up going back to a Windows laptop.

We just moved into a new house and I have new office furniture so I figured I'd post for my first time my workstation!

Disclaimer: Pictures taken with my new Nexus One (!) so the quality isn't exceptional.

And two of my cat Neo because he was being photogenic.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
