so I’ve been living in the em-effing boonies (drilling rig in northern alberta) for the past 50 days and im going apeshit without internet access. apparently i can tap into my rig managers satellite net connection so I am going to buy a laptop.
im thinking i want something big, and pimping, so i was thinking 17" powerbook g4. i would like some feedback from you 'uns so im sure that its going to do everything i want it to…
i went into the mac store in calgary yesterday and got nothin but a bunch of goateed attitude. i had to laugh, but the product seems pretty dope.
i want to be able to…
EDIT VIDEO.
USE PHOTOSHOP & ILLUSTRATOR
RIP AND ENCODE DVDS to DIVX or whatever. basically PIRATE my friends DVDS
but im pretty sure a mac can do that with two hands tied behind its back, right?
i also want to be able to watch tv on it, how does that work? that wont be a concern for a couple months i dont think.
I ment in person… I remember when the apple g5 first came out every thing about it was so fast but when i went and tired one, IT SUCKED… It was slow laggy and when you opened a app it chugged along …
im not really all that concerned about blazing fast fps’ playing games or whatever, will it make that much of a difference editing vids and everyday tinkering around…? im thinking of using the computer as my tv, dvd player kind of dealie, im not going to be buying a tv for the amount i watch actual tv, i was thinking that maybe bigger was better?
is there a sale on ilife 6
