Apple Update PowerBooks 02/01/2005 09:40 PM
Apple today announced a variety of updates across their popular line of PowerBook laptops. Key new features include faster G4 chips (1.67GHz), more memory (512MB) as standard, and better connectivity via AirPort 802.11g and Bluetooth 2.0. The new PowerBooks also feature scrolling 'TrackPad' technology and Apple's much hyped Sudden Motion Sensor.

“Apple continues to lead the industry with the most innovative notebooks,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “With new features like the scrolling TrackPad and Sudden Motion Sensor, the new PowerBooks are the ultimate combination of performance and portability.”

Read more for the updated specs on the PowerBook; the new PowerBooks will be available for purchase online later this week. <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/27/apple_site_powerboo k_g5/">Speculation </a>last week was rife that the company would be imminently announcing a G5 version of the PowerBook; the rumours were triggered when a placeholder on the Apple website with the text "apple_g5_powerbook". Clearly, this update dismisses these rumours and suggests that a G5 PowerBook is still a few months off. Apple VP Tim Cook has apparently described the task of getting the G5 chip inside a laptop as "the mother of all thermal challenges". In other Apple news, Apple was nominated "<a href="http://www.brandchannel.com/start1.asp?fa_id=248">t op brand</a>" of 2004, bumping previous winner Google off the top spot.

Will Apple own up to manufacturing
problems with 15" Powerbooks?

Will Apple own up to manufacturing
problems with 15" Powerbooks? 05/03/2004 01:38 PM
There's an enormous thread of PowerBook G4 15" owners on Apple's discussion boards, going into detail on the "white spots" and "uneven illumination" problem with this model. I bought mine last fall, and had to return it twice (first one was DOA, the second had the white-spots so bad that strangers on airplanes would come up to me and say, "Jesus Christ, what the hell is wrong with your screen?"). Now I'm on my third unit, and it's got the same problem: screen at about 50 percent brightness, big white splotch in the middle of the it.

It's still under warranty, but that doesn't do me any good: There's no way I can part with my machine for 3-7 days while Apple fixes it. Normally, I own two PowerBooks, the current one and a slightly older one (so that I have a working unit during repairs), but when I moved to Europe, I divested myself of all but a single CPU, so now I'm pretty scr0d.

The scoop appears to be that Apple is replacing these lemons with the new 1.5GHz models (which may or may not have the same problem), but I doubt that they'll ship me the replacement, let me transfer my data and then send back the old 'un. I'm just going to have to work off the world's shittiest display until I can scrape up the dough to buy another machine. Bummer.

Recently it has worsened to the point where I took it in today to the Apple store in Old Orchard. The attending Genius immediately noticed the uneven illumination of my display and suggested that it be sent in to the depot for repair. He also mentioned that this was the first time he had ever seen or heard of this problem before, and that there are no reports in the knowledge base that described this issue. When I mentioned to him that he might take a look at this thread in the Apple Support discussions, he wanted no part of it. He said that he rarely reads these forums, and dismissed it as "Oh well, people posting to discussion groups are mostly complainers" (those were not his exact words, but it was implied). Then I told him that people are posting actual photos of this problem and that all of the symptoms look identical for each person, which could indicate a manufacturing defect. His response was that "for those people, I suppose perception is reality".

Apple Powerbooks Get Minor Update (Still
G4)

Apple Powerbooks Get Minor Update (Still
G4) 02/01/2005 09:09 PM

Apple has finally released updated Powerbooks—and they aren't G5s. Top-end processor speeds max out at 1.67GHz and include 8x SuperDrives DVD burners. The good news is that all models now come with 512MB of memory standard, although only on SuperDrive models—hopefully that's going to be typical across the Apple line.

In addition to supporting new, faster Bluetooth 2.0, the new Powerbooks add a 'scrolling TrackPad,' which lets you use two fingers instead of one to scroll though web pages (it sounds a lot like SideTra ck). Faster hard drives, faster processors, and more ram as standard equipment make these all look like decent choices for someone considering an upgrade, although certainly nothing revolutionary (and they still are using the low-res screens).
