Maximus and Cleveland

November 16th, 2005

My new powerbook (Maximus) and Ipod (Cleveland) both arrived yesterday. Not even 24 hours later, I cannot image how I lived without a Mac previously. Everything is designed. Nothing is just thown in. It’s as if everything they create, they think how can we make this a little bit better. I’m quickly becoming spoiled. I have included a few shots below.

Maximus, My new powerbook

Cleveland, My New Ipod

P.S. I know naming electronics makes me a geek. I’m ok with that.

    John, happy for you! Don’t you have the problems with the screen which everybody seems to have with the new powerbooks? (strange lines, only seen on some colors)

    @Matthijs - I haven’t heard about or noticed any issues with strange lines. I’ll keep an eye out though.

    John, you can read more about it here: here and here. It seems the problem is on almost all new models, but sometimes it’s hard to see. In the first link a testimage is given with which you can check if the problem exists. John Hicks has the problem too with his new PB (see his latest post).

    Dang, I do believe mine does have the lines. It doesn’t bother me too much but its interesting to know. Thanks for alerting me of this Matthijs.

    No problem. I am saving for a pb myself, and happened to read about this somewere. And indeed, not everyone has a problem with the lines being there. If I understand correctly it’s not always visible and even then it might not be too bad.
