There's an update to the laptop prices they're selling in NUS...the 12" ibook now has only 30GB HDD and 768MB RAM...for $1688! Plus the 5% GST is not yet added in. Once in, it costs $1772.40! And no bluetooth....geez.
Online selling 12" iBook with 40GB HDD and 512mb RAM, $1788!

No one reply??Originally posted by X-men:Question:
I once heard someone telling me mac are more suitable for people doing design work because the colour you see on screen is what you get from the printer.
How true is that?
-
Hmm, there is some truth in it.My CRT output and my prints differ noticeably..unlike my Mac.But the best screen for photo work would have to be the 17" Powerbook, with a higher resolution capability.Originally posted by X-men:No one reply??
For the iBook, you've got to do some adjustment, it also helps if you know about colour profiles, something I'm not too expert with yet.. -

I didn't know apple has this rumour with it's powerbook screen.Originally posted by X-men:No one reply??
It would be the Mac OS calibration that is making the colour accuracy and difference from CRT or LCD.
The Key is in the OS
Cheers -
In the OS? I thought it would be due just to simple calibration of what is in bytes to the screen lorOriginally posted by M©+square:I didn't know apple has this rumour with it's powerbook screen.

I've had bad experiences with Fujitsu.Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Fujitsu is good wat.. my bro and most of my frens own a fujitsu, no complains so far.. and the fact that its 1.75kg lei..
Moreover, DEFINITELY not value for money -

The premium u pay for the design and branding....that's all.Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Fujitsu is good wat.. my bro and most of my frens own a fujitsu, no complains so far.. and the fact that its 1.75kg lei..
Seriously speaking, it is not worth the money
IBM was more value-for-money haha -

Imagine the hinge made of titanium but the design super lousy sia
Shock proof HDD is provided by most makers of lappies now
IBM has the X-series. I wondered why they did not feature it this time round lor -

U know the booths down there right? Acer is squeezed between IBM's giant "IBM welcomes students" banner and Fujitsu who covered 2 pillars with Fujitsu lifebook ads..
