Re: Apple requests feedback on portables
It would be nice if the PowerBook had a more rugged finish on it. Anodizing the titanium might help? Can you see them going back to heavier plastic? Id there a lighter weight, bullet-proof plastic out there? The artist in me agrees with you about the design of the newer portables...though bland and generic they still are clean and easy on the eyes. The Apple logo remains as a distinctive touch. Still, I like it when Apple's Industrial Design Group goes dramatic.

Comments per ADC newsletter
I currently own a G3 Firewire, and have access to a friend's G4/667 as well. Hardware: !!!Dual-button trackpad!!! Apple still clings to this notion that single buttons are easier to use, despite overwhelming user feedback to the contrary. Explain to me again how holding down a key AND clicking a mouse button, or even worse clicking and holding for a period of time, are easier, more intuitive, or more productive?! Sometimes it's ok to just admit you were wrong, guys. I looked at G4s last month and this was the ultimate decision point on my choice not to buy a new one. PC owners are ALL used to using two-button trackpads and mice. Whether in VPC or the RDC client (which works REALLY GREAT, BTW!), they will expect it to be there. Mac OS (X, of course!): Sleeptime/Waketime This is the feature that I find most compelling in using my Pismo vs my PC laptop at work. The Pismo goes to sleep instantly. It wakes up and is ready to work as soon as I start typing. It burns a ridiculously small amount of power while sleeping. I *never* power down this laptop any more. In contrast, my PC/Windows laptop takes almost half a minute to sleep or wake, and burns so much battery life while sleeping that it's not feasible to sleep it, say, over a weekend. This is a BIG DEAL to PC users. It is the thing that gets the single most oohs and ahs when I take the Pismo to work. Continue to stress it in development AND in advertisement. Great TV ad op, show the shill popping open the PB, sending an email, and sleeping it again while the PC is still waking up! KeS -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
