Yeah, was not suggesting a mac at all and was going by some of the suggestions we use at EIU for students who want a laptop for use in the classroom as opposed to as a desktop replacement at home. We suggest a real world battery lifetime of 4-5 hours because although we have places to plug-in all over campus, in most lecture classrooms you really have to use the laptop on battery. So if you have 2 or 3 classes in a row, the 4-5 hours is a minimum with some reasonable reserve. As far as size we also recommend 15" as a maximum size because most classroom desks are not huge and people get pissed when you open up your 17" behemoth and push them over to the side.

For once I agree with crappy. I do not see the point in wasting extra weight or limiting battery life to play the games you mentioned. For a school laptop, battery life is priority one.

Happy Birthday, youngster!

When I first received the iMac, it did look a little big. Now my 24 inch monitor at home seems too small.

This may be of interest to the photo graphers on HC.

How germane.

Happy Birthday, JP!

I believe they do run continuously at their lowest speed (1200 RPM) but I could be wrong.

My iMac is very quiet. I also use TG Pro to monitor temperature and fan speed.
