Yeah it is pretty nice. Except, one configured like mine costs about $500 more than mine. And that's not even including an ethernet NIC, or good speakers. Doesn't Apple have anything better than those little 20 watt things? Mine are 500 watt 5.1 Klipsch speakers
Any Mac would be better than Lego's computer in your opinion, because you are a diehard Apple fan, and nothing will convince you otherwise. One more thing, when did a jump from 933Mhz to 1Ghz become a "quantum leap in processing power"?
well lego i don't use speakers so i wouldn't know OR care. if you want speakers people sell ones other than apple.
and corran..i do believe legos system is better than many macs
it owns my current iMac 233..which is so slow an external hard drive lags it
I believe the high-end version of the new iMac destroys it..well...unless you like big screens.
It takes up about 1/60th of the space, and did lego's have the contents of a superdrive? Can't remember..
It also costs about half of what lego paid..but I WILL admit: macs are rather expensive.
And by the way, what do people (I'll probably only want responses from king) think about the improved iBook ?
Okay, so I was a little wrong. As for the SuperDrive, no his doesn't have one. But just ask Lego, he is going to get one, once they drop in price a little. Well not actually a SuperDrive, because that is only an Apple thing, but a PC equivalent.
It would be cool to burn DVDs, although I have never been able to think of anything that I would want to burn that would require more space than a CD would hold? I guess full version games, or ripped movies. Still, Superdrive type drives are pretty cool, because they can burn DVDs and CDs also. Plus, they have actually dropped a lot in price since they first came out, and they will continue to get faster and cheaper, just like CD burning drives have. Right now, the fastest DVD burning speed I have seen on those combo DVD/CD burning drives is 2X, so hopefully they will get faster.
does mor ethan just write/read dvd/cd forget what else too tired to go look
when you have 20GB of music on your 30GB hard drive, and you want to download 50GB, and your request list has 500-600 albums going to be put on it, you'd love burning dvds
What else could it do? Direct quote from the Apple website:
Your SuperDrive-equipped Power Mac G4 lets you read and burn both CDs and DVDs that can be played in most consumer DVD players. The SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) reads DVD titles at 6x (7.8 megabytes per second), and writes to 4.7-gigabyte DVD-R discs at 2x (2.6 megabytes per second). The SuperDrive also reads CDs at 24x, writes to CD-R at 8x, and writes to CD-RW at 4x. It supports DVD-Video, DVD-ROM and DVD-R, as well as CD-ROM, CD-Audio, CD-R, CD-RW, CDI, CD Bridge, CD Extended, CD Mixed Mode and Photo CD media.
(one thing that is missing from this description, the Superdrive can also burn DVD-RW)
Also, there are drives much cheaper than a Superdrive. The cheapest Superdrive I could find was $599. For a drive with the exact same features(including the DVD-RW), the Pioneer DVR-A03, I found one that was $418
