Apple is on the war path against Gateway...

[banjo_boy]

Gateway released their plasma TV a while back. This has not sit well with Apple, especially with the newly released 17" PB. However by the end f the year, Apple will be shipping this!

Geezus! haha
I can just see that thing bending from being so thin yet so big.

 

[fuzz]

awesome, you should have Shaq sitting behind it

 

[voice-]

With portables that big...are they still portable? Is it a laptop if it's too big to move?

 

[OmegaMan]

*laughs* Why use lightbulbs, when that thing'll light up a room!

Wonder what the battery life on it is? And forget about a laptop case, you'll need a portfolio case, just like artists! hehe

It might have just enough surface area to dissipate heat.

lol, I suppose I'm the only dork who noticed.... Although the person who created this streched the casing of the PowerBook width-wise, they did not stretch it depth-wise... so the giant screen would fold down, and stretch much farther than the keyboard rest...... God, I'm such a nerd.

 

[buggerit]

yes. yes you are.

 

[dlloyd]

So, did you do that, banjo_boy?
There are two things:
I have never seen a one foot wide CD-ROM, and how long do you think it would move the pointer across the screen with a trackpad that size?



edited for spelling

And they say SIZE doesn't matter.

A 15 min project! LAYOFF!

And Who says laserdiscs are coming back into distribution!?

Didn't you see the big simile? Like this :

 

[banjo_boy]

I forgot mine. All in jest. No rudeness meant.

I've still got my old lazerdisk player. I'm practically the only one who get's to watch high quality StarWars Ep. 4,5,6 ^_^

The keys look too small for the "17 PB.... maybe it's just the camera angle of the picture?

Nah man! That's not a stretched image! It's gonna be able to play LPs / albums!
It's part of their digital hub solution = cd burning, dvd burning, Album ripping (itunes4). hehe!

Ya never know...it's deep enough do it....and could be a special WOZ edition!

You could fit an intergrated graphics tablet in all that extra space!
