I would like to start a flame war
Aug. 7th, 2003 11:50 pmYay, bought a BBQ today! I enjoy the BBQ greatly out in the garden with the birds and bees and whatnot.
Been baby sitting a Compaq X1010CA today. Let's play
cpratt and compare it to a 15" powerbook:

So I get a slower computer with a titanium case? Oh good, gigabit ethernet how useful. The X1010CA is magnesium I believe on the cover and keyboard areas and the rest is plastic with metalic paint. It doesn't really feel cheap at all and having man-handled some TiBooks it feels less "creeky". The design isn't as minimized and it doesn't run OS X as the TiBook but frankly is that worth $529USD to me? Also MegaHertz Myth be damned 1.4GHz with DDR memory is gonna be faster than SDR at a slower clock speed on the processor AND bus. Just perhaps not in Photoshop 6.0
Apple really ought to update this model yesterday 'cause I ain't buying. And I plan on buying before the new year.
