Independent thermally controlled fans, no. So do it, but you will not get a system like the G5 by a long shot.

It is very easy to build a cheap very high quality PC – 30 mins to buy the components and 2-3 hours to build and install the software.” ” A high quality homebuilt PC is as good or than commercial machine whether it is from Apple or Alienware. So in the same spirit the G5 and P4 both are made of silicon so the G5 must be standard Itel OEM parts. they are all made of PCB and traces, so yeah… maybe you are right. Hum, how many wintel parts come with 1GHz bus, custom chipset, open trasport, support for 8GB 400DDR Ram, 64bit X-PCI, Gigabit Ethernet, optical audio, firewire 800. “All components in a Mac G5 ,except the CPU, case and some motherboards are completely standard OEM wintel parts.” There is no UNIX or linux distro that even comes close on x86 to being a decent multimedia OS and laptop OS. With macos X I get the best of both worlds UNIX and a decent GUI with tonnes of cool apps.

After debugging drivers and unix kernel panics at work all day I don’t want to come home and further debug problems. I have tinkered with it for 4 years on various machines. I am a UNIX person and I am tired of trying to make things work with linux.

Wintel latops are heavy (require two batteries to provide decent battery life) and if are thin and light are not full featured (no CDROM drive) and slow (1 GHZ ulv pIII). No the cpu halving in speed is not decent PM. The reason being no wintel laptop matches what an apple laptop provides at any price.ġ. I have finally decided to get a powerbook that I have wanted for a while. I had figured out it was best to run win2k only on the toshiba after numerous failed atempts to get linux to work decently as a laptop OS (support PowerManagement APM/ACPI, suspend/resume). He bought a celeron based one instead.Īfter researching for a few months and just recently getting bitten by win2k sp4 (which destroyed my win2k install on my 800mhz celeron toshiba satelite). He go frustrated and returned it because it was too slow on battery power. Calls to dell support couldn’t help in disabling speedstep. My friend returned his Dell 8500 with a 2.0ghz p4-M out of frustration because it would run at max 1.2 ghz or most of the time at 700 mhz. The mobile pentiums ( p4-M and pentium-M) use speedstep which basically halves the cpu freq when the laptop is on battery. The argument that wintel machines are cheaper and offer more power falls apart when it comes to laptops. The centrino line will help but not by much, preliminary tests and reviews show that they still can’t compete with thier mac counterparts in terms of battery life. They consume loads of it which make intel laptops heavy and have low battery life. One of the biggest problems with intel mobile chips is power. I have looked at the best laptops out there in wintel land and not one compares to the powerbook. I think you should be careful of how you talk about me because I have very little patience on the web anymore. >You know eugenia, I think you really need your valium today.

We email each other with Dominic quite a bit. And no, I didn’t snap to Linux_baby, you misunderstood. But I do like to help companies and projects sometimes with my polls. It was not a poll that we can put one thousand useless options that are too close to each other.Īnd no, I don’t work for Apple.

It does go under the same option on the poll, because my poll was done with the frame of mind of “Me being Apple and would like to survey stuff to see what people think”. This is the exact same as “I Won’t get a Ferrari” for the company. So, even if I would like to have one, Ferrari, Inc. But I won’t get one, even if I “would like to”. The fact that he “would like” to get a Mac doesn’t return any value to me or Apple. What that tells me is that “I won’t get a Mac because they are too expensive IMHO”. Sorry, but he said “I would like a Mac, but they are too expensive”.
