New TiBook Handle Also Sports a Stand

Posted by pudge on from the and-it-looks-good-too dept.

gsfprez writes "The fine folks at Other World Computing have teamed up with Newer Technology to release the perfect handle for your TiBook, because its also a stand: it folds underneath like the CRT iMac stand when you're parked. Previous handles were only handles, but the TiHandle actually gives you the tilt you wish you had with you all the time without the little feet popping off or overrotating."

    The model in this picture also has some nice handles.

    Why handles? For such an expensive piece of equipment, I certainly wouldn't carry it around unprotected... I'd use a laptop case.

    Photographer (to model): Can you raise the laptop about 6"?
    Model: Like this?
    Photographer: Yes, Perfect!
    Client: Why do you want the laptop held in such an unnatural position? She looks uncomfortable. Nobody carries a laptop like that.
    Photographer: If you want to sell these damn things, we need her tits in the frame too.

    First, This idea is not a new one...see this review or buy it here

    Second, having purchased the above referenced handle, I can seriously advise AGAINST installing any such device that mounts and channels load through the screen hinges/hinge mounts of the PBG4. I was (fairly) lucky and only had the hinge cover plastic broken from the stress of lite usage over the period of six months. Those covers aren't cheap and are very important inasmuch as they cover the various cables that go to the TFT display. How expensive? Well, in a quick search, the best price I found was $40.00 used.

    So, use any of these devices at your own risk. After having done so myself, I will never use one again.
