Looking at actual performance, I found that the new 1.33GHz 17-inch model did offer improvements when compared with the first-generation 17-inch model. It's one reason why I think the 15-inch is perhaps better value - not to mention more portable - now that it features the Aluminium styling of its bigger brother. While this might not sound too bad, consider that this resolution is only 160 pixels horizontally and 56 vertically bigger than the 15-inch screens, and that in the Windows world it's not uncommon for 14- and 15-inch laptops to have similar (if not higher) resolutions. Compared to the 15-inch model, the 17-inch is considerably larger and heavier, and while the larger size is due, of course, to the use of a larger screen, the screen itself has a relatively low resolution of 1440 x 900. This tempestuous relationship had a rocky start when the brand new 17-inch model I was testing unexpectedly died and had to be returned within the first few days of our affair, although I'm happy to report its replacement is still healthy as I type this column! The Big Bookįrom an aesthetic point of view, the 17-inch Powerbook is indeed beautiful, but I have to confess that, after spending some time with it, I realised it isn't the Powerbook for me. I'm talking, of course, about the 17-inch Powerbook. This month I've been trying to fall in love with a significant other who doesn't respond in the way I really desire.
There's plenty to investigate in this month's Apple Notes, from the Windows version of iTunes to the latest major update to OS X.
There are plenty of users who have both an Apple and a Windows device, so with this in mind, perhaps it's time at WWDC for the company to recognize this, and put iTunes to bed.Multi-channel speaker configurations are easy to work with in Mac OS 10.3's second version of the Audio MIDI Setup utility. ITunes has had its day - it's a relic of an era where we used PCs and laptops to manage our music for our iPods, and for a time, apps for our iPhones. Perhaps this is where the Apple TV app, found on televisions, could come over to Windows 11 to alleviate this, while podcasts could be their own app for both Android and Windows devices. Yet iTunes still offers podcasts and videos that can be bought within the app in Windows, which complicates things. Translating this to Windows would be a challenge, but as Apple Music is available on Android, there may be potential to make it available to Windows 11 users as an app as well, saving the company from having to support two music apps on two different platforms.Īs Android apps are available as a preview for users in the Microsoft Store, this could make sense for Apple and Apple Music users who don't have a Mac, especially as it's also arrived on Roku devices.
