New Core 2 Duo MPB

AFAIK the MBP uses the T-series processors (at 667). Aren't the E-series processors for desktops?

I haven't heard of RSS being a problem in the C2D macbooks.
 
Perhaps you need to check your hearing (LOL only kidding ;))

I read also they are replacing that idiot Matsu s h i t a Superdrive with an LG Hitachi unit.
Out goes the MAT S U S H I T A DVD-R UJ-857 in comes the HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA.

Now if they could just do the same with the iMac. Hell, Apple owners have been screaming about this drive for months and months.

I have the UJ-846 in my mini - is that a problematic drive?
 
I can't fault LG's drives, but what's so bad about the Matsu****a? I have a UJ-840D in my HP notebook, and that's about the only part of the HP, aside from the lovely LGPHILIPS (??) screen, that I can't complain about. It's bullet proof, reads anything I throw at it.
 
Reminds me - I wanted to test out the dual layer writing but the blanks we're over r50 a pop and I could only find packs of 5.

Now while I dont mind losing r50 in the name of curiosity I'm not in the mood to piss away r250 incase it doesnt work :eek:

Has anyone tried d/l - esp in a mini?
 
oh right. I just remembered, I found Imation DVD+RW DL at CNA in Cresta not too long ago - was pretty cheap too. I used it for to make a copy of my (purchased) SUSE 10.1 DVD for office use. So far no complaints.

Hey man, I've got to earn money somehow! Business before pleasure....

For what it's worth, after three years of dedication, I finally have my boss playing with the idea of getting himself a Mac.

And of course theirs will be top of the range with all the bells 'n' whistles and the first thing you'll have to do is install solitaire. :eek:
 
lol. I'll have to give credit where credit is due. My boss plays BackGammon.

Anyway, he wants a small notebook, preferrably a 12" - now, there's this 12" G4 Powerbook on display at a certain shop, that I would very much like to buy for myself before my boss buys it for himself...

He'll be much happier with the MB. It's only an inch and change larger but worth the extra size imo.
 
Yeah, his wife has one and I can see he's starting to like it. He won't buy the G4 anyways, he'll probably want to run Windows :-(

That's precisely what the current UJ doesn't do. Endless problems is how it has been described. Mind you they say the new one is louder, but reads all the discs.

You can buy them one at a time from Incredible Deception

Incredible Con? They seem to make a point of being the most expensive shop in town - esp for software. Flight SIM X DLux =R499, but 399 at CNA, even less at Look & Listen.
 
bwana - thanks, I'll tell him about that. Don't thin he wants to wait that long though - his HP is dying.

Skeptik, Incredible Corruption is sometimes cheap with blank discs. Sometimes cheaper than any other place (at least in Cresta). But that's about all they're good for.

Oddly enough they had the best deal on the day for my 360. I looked high and low in an effort to find someplace cheaper.

They did suggest I try makro for a single dvd dl +r so all hope is not lost :)
