OS X 10.5.5 released

[Eduardo Rolon]

From the notes

…Includes extensive graphics enhancements.

Updated my Macbook Pro, no problems detected yet.

I just upgraded to 10.5.6.
As far as I can see, Apple's only concern was improved color variations...
Anyway, thank you Karl for your positive sound, let us be patient and wait for another release. J

What would be the best possible purchase for a PC laptop 17" today, daily use with AC - within the price range of a Macbook Pro - being able to support Apple Cinema Display 23"?
After all, in my specific situation it seems best to not wait any longer...
Within the turbulent storm of the financial crisis all my hours spend do count x2!

Joeri, I'm as disappointed as you... Maybe this issue is too Archicad-specific for Apple to care... I wonder what Graphisoft is doing?

But can you tell me if you think it's worse (I mean more easily triggered) after the update, or not?

Hi Thomas,

Too soon to make any good observations.
All I can tell : I upgraded - started AC12 - working for about 45' - machine in sleep mode during phone call and BINGO. I may be wrong but perhaps it's meant to be one of the standard screensavers ? ?

"Includes fixes for possible graphics distortion issues with certain ATI graphics cards."

Hope that this will resolve the issues people have been seeing.

Sorry to see it does not fix things, Joeri! 😞

Greg comments more on this in the proper thread (which I should have searched for):

Cheers,

Dell has a very hot new laptop (the Precision M6400 "Covet") but it is a bit pricey starting at $3859.00 US and can hit about $6000 with all the goodies. But with a standard 1GB Quadro video card and optional 16GB max RAM, dual hard drives, etc. it is definitely a serious work machine (and appropriately named).

Joeri and Matthew,

Come on guys, you know better... this is a thread about OS X. Joeri's question and Matthews response belong elsewhere. Please pay attention to what thread you are in, as moderators cannot move individual posts, only entire threads. 😉

Thanks,
Karl

There is a thread about the best machine for ArchiCAD in Hardware ...

Sorry guys. I should know better. I'll pay closer attention in the future.
