Can you say, “Aargh?”
Apple talks AirPort reception, heat issues in new TiPBs [MacCentral]
I think you can. I certainly can’t afford this, but it corrects almost all the hardware deficiencies that make me sigh about my TiBook (October 2001 edition + Jan DVD/CD-RW). Audio line in (but I bought something for that). Gb Ethernet, got it.
Don’t got: better AirPort reception; better heat distribution (and presumably less fan noise);
High-speed L3 cache of 1MB of Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM. This is what Cæsar on Ars Technica was bitching about last year, I think.
ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics processor with AGP 4X support and 32MB of fast DDR video memory means 68 fps at millions of colors = 84% performance boost.
The new 15.2-inch display with 1280 x 854 pixels trumps my 1152 x 768. Color saturation and viewing angles were just complimented on yesterday, so that’s no problem.
Integrated DVI port for analog and digital video output.
Clamshell mode seems to be working now; this is probably due to the better heat dispersal.
133 MHz system bus.
