アップルのPowerbook G4です。2003年9月くらいに購入しました。当時の最高スペック版に付けれるオプションを全て付けて購入したので結構な値段でしたね。一緒に映っているHDDはLaCieの250GBです。Firewire800で繋いでいます。iTunesの音楽や写真などかなりのボリュームになっているので、本体のHDDではなくこちらに収めています。Firewire800のおかげでしょうか、アクセスにストレスは全く感じません。
This is my Mac PowerBook G4 from Apple. I got the PoweBook around 3 and half years ago from Apple store Japan. Because I chose all options, it was so expensive. A HDD being in the picture is LaCie made HDD 250GB connected by Firewire 800. So fast connection and no stress to use the HDD.
光るりんごマークがなかなか良いでしょ？キーボードもバックライトで光ります。ちなみに、この冷却台はBalmuda DesignのX-Baseです。アルミ削りだしで冷却性性能、デザインとどれをとっても1級品です。
Shining Apple… I like it. Keyboard is as well by backlight. Also this cool base for Powerbook is X-Base made by Balmuda design Japan. Fantastic quality and excellent design.
という感じで調子良く使っていた去年の12月に画面が突然の砂嵐。本当に突然でびっくり。昼ごはんを食べて戻ってきたらこれですよ。目を細めながら画面と格闘する事数時間、辛うじて大事なファイルは本体から吸い出す事が出来ました。で、アップルストア銀座に持ち込んで修理依頼しました。が、修理完了したのが3日前。都合1ヶ月半以上をマック不在で過ごすのは辛すぎます。よっぽどMac Pro買おうかと思いました。この間写真ファイルや音楽ファイルも全てウィンドウズマシンで扱ってましたから。しかし、アップルストアの店員さんは最初2週間で終了って言ったのになぁ...。マック良いですよ～、って言うつもりの投稿がなんだかマック批判っぽくなってしまった...。
Suddenly the monitor was gone shown in a picture above when I used Poerbook in December last year, actually before lunch time the Powerbook worked well but after lunch the monitor is gone. I squinted my eyes a few hours to make a backup copy, I barely did do that. After that I brought the Mac to Apple Store Ginza in Japan to repair, then 1 and half bloody month later, the PowerBook was back. It was quite long time 1 and haf month… I remember a store staff said to me probably 2 weeks were required to repair… I wished to say “Mac is good” something like this, but seems this post is unlike it.
