Power PC Macs running any version of the Mac OS prior to 10.4.2 cannot mount GPT volumes.

Both PowerPC and Intel Macs can boot from APM (Apple’s old partitioning scheme) hard drives, which is the format you must use to create a universal boot drive in Leopard. Only Macintel models can boot from GPT hard drives. Intel-based Macs use a partitioning scheme known as GPT. This will wake up your ‘Book and restore use of the built-in display. To resume use of the internal display, you need to disconnect the external display, put the computer to sleep, and then open the lid. Since all video RAM is now dedicated to the external monitor, you may have more colors available at higher resolutions. The built-in display will remain off, and the external monitor will become your only display. Your ‘Book will go to sleep, but you can wake it by moving the mouse or using the keyboard. Power up your ‘Book until the desktop appears on the external display and then close the lid. To used closed lid mode, your ‘Book must be plugged into the AC adapter and connected to an external display and a USB or Bluetooth mouse and keyboard (you might also want to consider external speakers).

If a second high-powered device is attached, it will behave like a normal bus-powered hub and only provide 100 mA per downstream port.Ĭlosed Lid Mode: All Intel ‘Books support “lid closed” (or clamshell) mode, which leaves the built-in display off and dedicates all video RAM to an external display. Unlike earlier models, where every USB port could provide 500 mA of power, only a single high-powered device can be attached to the USB ports, and software will enable one of its downstream ports to supply 500 mA of power. Mid 2007 models shipped with OS X 10.4.9 Tiger and will support OS X 10.9 Mavericks when it ships.

It has 3 USB 2.0 ports, one more than the 15″ MBP offers. This model includes built-in dual-DVI support for Apple’s 30″ Cinema Display and an ExpressCard/34 slot (replacing the older PC Card).

Note that the built-in display is only capable of 18-bit color, not the full 24-bit color you might expect. And they run their CPUs a tiny bit faster. 2 GB of RAM is standard, with a 6 GB ceiling (up from 3 GB). The included Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics, an improvement over the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600.

The Mid 2007 MacBook Pro models use Intel’s new Santa Rosa chipset with the Merom CPU on an 800 MHz system bus (which can be dynamically adjusted to save power), up from 667 MHz on last year’s model.

If 1680 x 1050 isn’t enough for you, you can upgrade to a 1920 x 1200 screen for just US$100 more. I would be more concerned at the smoke, tar, nicotine getting inside the display and the Mac, corroding the circuit boards, covering contacts in ports and clogging the blowers over time.The June 2007 17″ MacBook Pro is the first Apple notebook to offer an even higher resolution 17″ display. An internet search for "milled aluminum ashtray" or "milled aluminum engine block" will show that aluminum (and aluminum alloys) can stand up to substantial heat in diverse settings. Also, I've seen solid aluminum ashtrays in use for tens of years in harsh environments with no real pitting or permanent damage to them. It would slightly warm up a small area of the case but do no harm to the insides. I also expect that action would drive most neat freaks up the proverbial wall, but from a chemical and heat aspect - a single lit cigarette doesn't have enough heat to do any damage. I suspect that Apple anodizes their unibody parts - and if so, that creates a hard, durable layer of aluminum oxide that protects the metal from scratches, stains, and further oxidation I would say that the only damage caused by a cigarette to the aluminum itself would be cosmetic.Ĭlearly, the pebbled surface will trap nicotine and ash on the Aluminum.
