I was just in the local BestBuy store, and a client had come in with his Wind to complain about his WiFi card. He said he would lose his connections all the time.
To make a long story short, he showed me a web page (I did not write down the URL), that showed that the newer models have different WiFi cards in them. Does anyone know what I am talking about, and if these newer WiFi cards are compatible with OS X |

QUOTE(Zews1 @ Nov 20 2008, 20:27)  Could someone who owns a 6 cell please post a photo of the computer with a side view so I can see how far the 6 cell battery sticks out. Paul, I know you no longer have your 6 cell, but do you happen to have such a photo, that you could post? I have seen the 3 cell model in local stores, but I couldn't find a 6 cell. I assume that the 6 cell battery is quite a bit larger and would stick out more, which would make the computer a lot thicker. I assume that the 6 cell battery is not flush with the bottom surface of the computer like the 3 cell battery is. It's not flush, but it's no unpleasantly large.

Heres the pic that you requested:  Expanding on what Paul said.. It sticks out slightly, but I wouldn't say it is obtrusive or even noticeable - however it is significantly heavier than the 3-cell battery IMO. Totally worth it though..  (6-7 hours is quite an unrealistic figure though. Hardly any processes were running at the time of that screenshot.. Brightness was lowest, No Wi-fi, No Bluetooth etc  )BTW, I got my my 6-cell battery from https://www.medionshop.co.uk/ It was £50, and took about 20 days to get here as apparently they had none in stock. The black matches the black on the bottom of the Advent 4211, it's the exact same material I think. Hope all this info helps somebody! and Woo, My first post!

While I'm here, Let's talk Mice
 Just suggestions for mice that newbies may find interesting.. THIS is a really great mouse for your 4211/Wind/AnyOtherNetbook It's bluetooth, so No USB stick or wires with the Wind/4211. It's not too big, not too small, has invisble light on the bottom (no red light) and it runs on 2 AA batteries. It's also BEAUTIFUL Nicest mouse I've ever owned. It kicks Mighty Mouse's ass, and would go great wiht any Mac (Or Wind on Leopard )BTW, it was £10 brand new when i bought it a few weeks ago.. I have no idea why, but it has gone up to about £30.. Maybe if you keep your eye on it it will go back down :/ If you want a wired mouse, this is a great choice. It's cheap, you can get it in a variety of colours (black/grey, white/grey, white/green, pink/pink), and I love the thick scroll wheel design. I use it with my desktop. The cable is adjustable, it tucks away neatly, so you can use it from 10cm-150cm aprox. Hope somebody finds this helpful

To all:
I upgraded my OSX/XP Wind 1.05 bios to 1.09. This bios has a built-in overclocking feature. There is also an alternate bios that will swap the function and control keys. All is well on the OSX side but I notice I don't get the ECO led when on batteries. I used the method on this site: http://www.electricvagabond.com/2008/10/ms...rclock-and.html To Zews1: There are workarounds to the issues you are concerned about. A USB Mac-compatible headset will give you headphones and mic and will switch the audio automatically when connected. Typically, there are no drivers required. I have not heard that any of the stock WiFi cards are OSX compatible but a USB dongle is an easy solution. I bought a draft-n Planex GW-USMini2N dongle for $27 and there are cheaper ones available. |

Thanks for the photo. That illustrates it well. BTW, how much computing time does the 3 cell battery provide?
Re: the headphone out. I read somewhere that simply hitting Control-H, will toggle the sound from the speakers to the headphone jack. That sound too easy. However it is easy enough to check for some of you. If it is true, that this works, that would be great. Again I did not write down the URL where I read this. I have been reading so many forums dealing with OS X on the Wind the last few days, they are beginning to blend in my head. I am now quickly oveloading on information, and it's getting a bit confusing, since so many methods seem to contradicting each other. And they all seem to work. My head may explode soon. |
