Yes, I understand that there are differences between the two types of computers however, Is the 2360QM i7 in the Samsung be as good as the rumored processor in the iMac? I'd be looking at the 21.5 inch model. Specifically the $1200 model which is rumored to have the following
1199$ 21.5" iMac
Intel Core i3-2100 (3.1GHz)
AMD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5
750GB HD
2x2GB RAM; option for 4x2GB
The Samsung has the following
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i7+Processor+/+15.6%22+Display+/+6GB+Memory+/+750GB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/Graphite/2235132.p?id=1218315006844&skuId=2235132
Intel� Core� i7
Processor Speed
2.0GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz)
System Memory (RAM)
6GB
Computer Hard Drive Size
750GB
Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT525M
Video Memory
1GB GDDR3
I like the Mac OS X OS (and I NEED to have my Mac OS X G4 from 2001 replaced) but I also need a laptop as well and I want the most BANG for my buck.:)
I have $1,200 to spend. Advice is appreciated from the experts here.
Thanks

Like you said if you need a portable mac then get the PowerBook 15", if you dont need a laptop then get a G5 iMac but you would need o upgrade RAM in whatever mac you get.

Apple ICs
Apple Information
Apple Laptops

Companies
Consumer Software

Mac Desktops
Mac OS X

Third-Party Hardware
Third Party Hardware
Third Party Software
What a mess! We should standardize all these now, before it's too late! For example:
"Pro Software" vs "Prosumer Software" ??
Third-Party Hardware vs Third Party Hardware
I'm not really behind the whole "third party" distinction in the first place. We should have:
- Software
- Hardware
Software could be broken down in the various apple-provided subcategories as I described in a previous post. The whole "prosumer/consumer" category really only applies easily to Apple stuff. Sure, photoshop may be a "prosumer" app, but would Graphics Converter? It's used by pro's. I suspect most people who are looking for a solution wouldn't be going down a "pro" vs "consumer" road, but rather after a specific kind of application (an Internet utility, for example). This doesn't exclude a "Software->Apple Prosumer" category.
Hardware should similarly have a standard breakdown: Displays, CPUs, Mouses, etc... No need to necessarily differentiate between Apple/non-Apple stuff here. There should be no "Apple Displays" subcategory, but the Cinema Display could be in both Hardware->Displays, and Hardware->Apple Hardware (but not only Hardware->Apple Displays)

I think it would be particularly interesting to chart it back to the computer on the LEM of Apollo 11.
I remember something about the IBM Thinkpad 760XL I had in 1997 being something like 1,600x faster than it.

I really thought that his retirement after this year's Tour was very classy - it is rare (and refreshing) to see somebody going out on top. But it's his call....
...As to his fitness, I'm sure few people doubt he is capable of winning an 8th Tour (heck, he could probably go for 10 and do it) - but he knows his own fitness best....
....I just hope Lance doesn't end up like Michael Jordan...
Lance has said he'll retire or has even retired before I think, but coming out of retirement 'just to p*ss them off' is a bit lame. Imagine if he got beaten? He'd look like a chump. I'm not saying he would get beaten, but coming out of retirement on that agenda is asking for trouble. Sticking two fingers up at them has already been done by whipping everyone for the last 7 years. I think the French are just pissed that the tour became Tour de Lance instead of Tour de France.
PS. Don't diss MJ - you run a good chance of being struck down.... ;)

but as stated in my previous thread, if it was a 400mhz p-book, I would. But it isn't. :(
yes i realize that, but i'm just wondering if your interested in maybe anything else to cut the cost a bit.
early in the new year i could pay cash if u still have the PC then i'll contact you

What we really need is a Windows Keynote player downloadable for free off of Apple's website. ...Apple could probably throw one together in a day and iWork sales would skyrocket (not to mention the switching potential of the Windows users watching such a beautiful presentation on their piece of crap :D).
yep. that would sell iWork to me. dam uni being MS based.

I run a windows server at home with my movie collection and it has that uptime and then some.
In fact the only time it goes down is when the power goes out or I turn it off when I go on vacation.
On my acer windows 7 laptop, aside from going to sleep I haven't restarted it in months.

Nice way of telling me it's worth avoiding :D
You read into that what you wanted to hear.
There's nothing to avoid really. It's near the best version of lemmings since the Amiga ones.
Faults are the no mouse support, but in fairness the controller works very well. And 40 levels wont last you forever.
But like I say for �3.50 can you really complain ?
Well as it's you Jimmi - the answer is probably ;) :p :D j/k

Thanks for the input.
So rmtoberman, what you're saying is you can get about 4 hours of playback after recording for an hour?
Does it come with an SD card then? I can't really tell from the Amazon listing.
Tried it in low light situations at all?
It did not come with an SD Card.
Low light is a little grainy....

i have a 512mb stick somewhere...i should really go...maybe i'll go right now.
:) Yes, your iBook will be much happier with 640MB of RAM. It's too bad the other 128MB is hardwired onto the board... 1GB would be nice.

Well I'll be darned....
When Arn e-mailed me a couple months ago (and I was insanely busy and had very little time to post), I had no idea what was going on to prompt him to e-mail me to come back to MR.
I posted a few times on the Nov 5th rumor thread, and sadly found myself frustrated with the folks there. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but compared to what I remember from over a year ago, the proportion of folks who were irritating (i.e., "trolls" to use our lingo) was way too high. I got frustrated and stopped posting...especially because I realized that all my posts were taking me way off topic replying to the trolls!
So then I just came here tonight, checking out what was new, etc...and I find this forum -- a hangout for those of us who were around long ago. Too cool!
Great idea, Arn. Now if we could just boost the membership in here back up. I'd enjoy that a lot. Truthfully, I find myself reading MacNN a lot, but the discussions are far less spirited there.

This is something I would love to see via jailbreak or iOS 5. It would be awesome to be able to hand off SMS to the iPad when they are in close proximity.
But I would want this to work with my iPhone's native AT&T SMS and not some other "free" texting service. Those require you to use a new number and it would be near impossible for me to tell all my contacts to start texting a new number but call me on the old number.
That's really the beauty of google voice, once you transisition to it you never have to worry about changing numbers again or giving people different numbers. You do have to make that initial transition and give all your contacts a new number BUT it's the last one you will have to hive them.
