I find it very funny that you think that is the powerbook boot logo. On all apple computers I've had experience with the bootlogo was an apple

[86123maxxi]

All OS X systems' default boot logo is the Apple logo. The previous user just modified it.

[Geardos]

@86123maxxi yeah there are some easy to use apps to do that.

[chelfc7]

ARE YOU SERIOUS THAT'S THE POWERBOOK BOOT LOGO!??! ahahhahaa,who woulda guessed.

I'm looking for an ideal laptop on which to run Macromedia Director, Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator etc. plus Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator I also do a lot of digital video editing.

can anyone help me out?? Im gonna study multimedia design..

[Geardos]

@MissBombastiQue macbook pro handles that stuff well, depends if you need to run osx-only applications like final cut... If you are serious about video editing final cut is a good program to know (in which case you'd need a a mac). The adobe suite will run fine on any fast laptop with lots of ram, and you should go for a discrete video card as well. Get an i5 minimum, with a discrete video card (not integrated).

Hey I was really wondering if you could reply to this and tell me whether Dragon Age 2 was played on Mac OSX or on Bootcamp with Windows

[Geardos]

@Killery96 this was in windows 7..

[HauntedClockwork]

Well spoken!! this chap knows his stuff!!!

I totally agree with your comment about the sound being "slightly right." I spent days attempting to figure out if sound was even coming out of the left side speakers.

[Geardos]

@drunkwithwords Yep. I am typically the type that notices when people have speakers hooked out of phase or if there is any kind of balance problem, and this drove me crazy. Looked it up online, and it is part of the design. Solution is to go to audio midi settings and move the master balance slightly to the left on built in input (it will only affect the speakers, headphones have their own settings). Granted nobody in their right mind uses laptop speakers for real work.

[Geardos]

@drunkwithwords correction: audio output

[86123maxxi]

@drunkwithwords ah, i hate the PowerBook's speakers and it's very vulnerable subwoofer. One drop, even when in a sleeve, would cause the subwoofer to "blow" and everything bass would sound like a fart. When i boot up my PowerBook, the woofer just farts. Luckily i have a portable stereo speaker, self-powered through the audio port.

[Geardos]

@86123maxxi well if I dropped a computer the integrated speakers going out would be the least of my worries
