only on the 17" model ::)

8 hours charge time ::)

a good rule of thumb is to always subtract 1 hour battery capacity per each month owned ::) ::) ::)

I'm gonna go throw dog shit on apples windows be back in 30

Quote from: USA Today
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA 2/26/2009 - in the heart of "silicon valley" today apple employees everywhere stopped fiddling with their iphones between pops of dexedrine and taking bumps off of glossy screened monitors and instead used their formerly barren & pristine IKEA desks for grinding condensed graphite onto thin slices of microscopically textured wood. laundromats surrounding the area have reportedly been overrun with thousands of american apparell v neck t-shirts and black chino turtlenecks with sweat ridden collars. it is unclear whether this epedemic is due to the strain of opening up lawsuits from burn victims or if mental exertion is to blame - Associated Press, Toomene Adjectivesironica McWordyski

Fuelcells are still on their way, its just a matter of how long now do we have to wait.

thats actually a pretty big deal if youre familiar with mbps

the steel on the "old" model is kind of bendy & too flexible

i could grip it on both side and bend it into a V if i wanted

It's just not all that energy/resource efficient.

Post by: Dickie Dee on February 27, 2009, 01:31:32 AM: I used to assume that lawsuits about overheated batteries were frivolous. But seriously, if something like the above pics happened while it was cradled on my junk, I'd be out for vengeance too.
