Everything breaks, and people don't like to toss away their three-year-old sets. It somehow comes off as a tad wasteful.SuperJail Warden wrote:

There isn't really any easy way to do that. SCART and VGA use different systems for syncronising. You're going to need an active adapter to do it and they can be both fairly expensive and poor.Jenspm wrote:

What kind of cable should I be using? I've been browsing Amazon, but a lot of the reviews say the cables don't work.

I'm really not going to bother updating this chart any more, unless there's some serious want behind it (knock on wood). All members getting new hardware that they want on the chart is going to create a bureaucratic nightmare out of managing it.
I just tried the beta for the first time. I expected Battlefield 2 levels of greatness, but instead I received another generic, two-colour (At least it's blue and green this time, as opposed to the normal brown and grey), modern shooter. Oh, joy.

It's not like it matters, I never touch the rear side of the Mac unless it's broken, anyhow.
EDIT:
I also spent 100€ on a new motherboard, CPU and CPU cooler for my server, the other day. Out with the 4400+, horrid MSI motherboard (with Nvidia chipset!), graphics card and 90's PSU, in with the E6300 (45nm version), GA-P45-DS3R, no graphics card at all, 80+ server-grade PSU, and even another TB of storage space!
The power usage went from ~110W when idle, to ~40W idle and ~65W under Linx load

Considering that it's only about twice as long as a normal USB plug, I don't think the difference is worth noting. In fact, I find it to be a lot more practical than my previous one, which was indeed a "wire-box-wire" thing, as there's already too much spaghetti between the computer and the wall.Ilocano wrote:

In the end, it's merely a question of preference and how you use it. In my case, I find this design to be preferable.

I got myself a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and a single chip today.
This USB-to-PS/2 adapter (Device ID 0x0020, manufacturer ID 0x0e8f) is lovely. It supports KB/M, KB/KB or M/M, hot-plugging of them, and it's even compatible with my PPC Mac, something which wasn't quite the case with my old one, which required me to plug it into a computer running Windows in order to initialise, and then, without breaking the power, moving it to the Mac. That was rather cumbersome. And the <> key didn't work.

That's actually very doable, and the manufacturer (FEC) have models for applications just like that. However, the downside is the price; you can get an Imac for cheaper than most of'em.Ilocano wrote:

There's a whole computer with 1GHz of raw 5,5W, 90nm Celeron ULV power in there, as well as 160GB of storage space and 1GB of RAM! It's also touch enabled via a Fujitsu resistive touch controller with its net above the 15" XGA display, which is encased in a 5mm thick aluminium case.

I wouldn't do it, max. The larger L2 cache will probably bring the power usage much higher when idle, thus destroying your battery life, even if you aren't doing too much.

They are both identical.
EDIT: Upon further inspection, they have, while being quite well-designed otherwise, rather cheap capacitors (TEAPO), and a sleeve bearing Yate Loon fan. While I'm not complaining, if anybody else is going to purchase one of these units, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to modify them; in this configuration, they will not live very long.

I will have to agree with Jay and Eleven Bravo. If you're going to be using it for school work, then you need a reliable business machine. There are none with respectable graphics chips in that price range. Consider HP Probooks with the "b" suffix or Lenovo Thinkpads of the T series.

I'm thinking about the more technical aspects of it; they sacrifice things like cooling (100-degree-Celsius i7 Macbook Pros), performance (Running Macbooks without battery inserted), serviceability (New Imacs' hard drive connector, Macbook Pro batteries) and even usability (17" laptops without numpad, arguably the chiclet keyboards) in order for their products to appear more streamlined. That is bad product design in my book, and something that I prefer steering clear of.
Please, don't refute any of the aforementioned points, I'm not going to get into an argument about it. The only conclusion we would be able to reach through that is that we have different opinions regarding what product design choices are to be prioritised.

By the way, if I were to purchase an Apple computer, it would be an Imac, they're so practical. I couldn't give a toss about the other products in the range, they usually won't do anything I need that the competitors won't.
