TEX4S Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Its hilarious (in a pathetic way) how people will lay out every damned piece of electronics they own when they take a pic of their "workstations" Its pretty obvious how everything is laid out, lined-up, and "on display" This isn't a show-n-tell - we want to see people's desks/workstations/computers -- not their lame ass motorola, and some puny pathetic ipod nano :rolleyes: Can you take a few pictures for me? I cant seem to find good shots on it online, like pictures of the top and the front of the laptop. Thanks! :D you cant take pictures of ideapads, they will instantly fall apart upon sight of the camera flash - they are junk -- dont confuse them with the ThinkPads which are the best/most reliable laptops on the market. ideapads - plastic ThinkPad - titanium & magnesium alloy nuff said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niovhe Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow, you guys make me feel like I should tidy my desk :p Very nice setups though, esp. your collection of posters Louisville ^^ You so reminded me of my setup & desk condition when i was studying in the UK. From time to time i dig messy desktops, they're so convenient :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasethebase Reporter Posted May 4, 2010 Reporter Share Posted May 4, 2010 @trek: Would be nice to have my laptop closed while connected to an external, but it can't be done. Mainly because it automatically shuts off the display but also because it gets quite warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to use your laptop (minus the heat issue) closed while the external display remains on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could've gotten a PC for much MUCH less with similar specs, if not better. All you're paying for is the brand, the poor design/heat, and OS X.

All you're paying for is the brand, the poor design/heat, and OS X. Quality build.... I'v seen my friends Dell, HP, my sisters 2xHP and my 2xAcer... all of them **** quality, and always some problems... noisy plastik cases, crappy design... MacBook Pro on the other hand looks great, alu-case, simple clean design, thin, great battery life and powerfull in the same time... I don't like OS X, the way you shift around with windows and application sucks big time and the dock is crap too, I work much faster in windows, especially Windows 7(superbar :D)... I haven't had any heat issuse with mine yet... My sister is also going to buy a MacBook Pro 13" this month and will be using Win 7 on it, she got tired of her HP laptops :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonbear Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 great battery life the battery in windows 7 is worse than it is in OSX, from what i've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamilboy86 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 the battery in windows 7 is worse than it is in OSX, from what i've read. Its really good :woot: .. maybe people should learn to dim the screen and set it to power saver mode or balanced mode :p... it doesn't automaticly dim the screen in windows like it does in OS X.....

smithy_dll Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 If you're looking at the MBP rather than the Macbook, have you considered looking at real professional PC laptops instead of consumer garbage? Lenovo Thinkpad, DELL Precision, and HP Elitebook and Probook models all come to mind and are exceptional in build quality compared with DELL and HPs consumer lines which are much like the macbook.

Agreed, and if you take care of your laptop, it will last. My Compaq has been humming along for 6 years, and I've accidentally dropped it once (it was padded drop though). That thing is a 6 pound brick, and build quality is great, no flex on the chasis. Thinkpad though...not even Apple can touch them. I have a Dell Latitude E6500, and surprisingly it's built really well, and easily blazes through a day with 6-7 hours of battery with WiFi/Bluetooth on.
