Matthew, I traded up to a 12" 1.5 Ghz PB after my G3 900 iBook broke 3 times in 18 months. I always thought the PBs were over priced for what they were. Was I wrong! I researched the 12" PB after my iBook broke the 2nd time. I decided to give my iBook one more try. Then on the 88th day of the 90 day warranty for the replaced logic board it broke again. Enough was enough! Now that I have my PB I wish I'd gotten earlier! Once thing I like most about the 12" 1.5 PB is that the hard drive has a head parking mechanism if the powerbook is dropped. It has a G-force sensor and can tell when it's dropped.
If I had to complaints it would be these mild criticisms. A) The bottom gets pretty hot, especially if it's in your lap while the Mac is doing processor intensive things (such as iMovie). B) The battery clocks 3 1/2 to 4 hrs. My iBook was cooler (only a G3) and the battery could do 5 1/2 to 6 hours without sweating it. --- Matthew Dudek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey guys and girls, > > My old Pismo seems just about ready to be put out to > pasture... or at least > used as my "media PC," and I am trying to figure out > the best deal for the > money, and something that will also stick around for > at least as long as my > Pismo has.
