Big Al arrived
My 17 AlBook arrived this morning. All I can say is WOW. :) Running software updates right now. The screen is incredibly readable even off center. For being as thin as it is, it feels quite solid. It's incredibly quiet when running. I had it in my living room and my Tivo was much louder. Even sitting here at my desk, it's almost completely silent. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: pizmo battery suggestions-Coleman Power Pack
Hello Jim, Doug List, As to the Coleman Power Pack; I've had mine for 3 years and I got it at a military exchange in the states. I misspoke when I said Coleman-Igloo. I note that Coleman and Igloo are two different companies with similar products. I know my power pack is a Coleman brand . It comes in a vinyl case and has a transformer for home charging ( Coleman/Igloo also make a home power supply--120VAC to 12VDC, for powering their electric coolers but this isn't the one I spoke about. Perhaps a camping or video supply company has a similar product. It is a no brain-er to build if you have the time. Radio Shack has rechargeable 6 volt lantern gel cells ($20 ea)which could be wired together and recharged from a 12/13 volt transformer etc. It was nicer to have everything already together in a smaller package via Coleman. If you are going to DIY-- consider using the 6 volt Solar Landscape cells from a home supply store etc. in tandem (series) . They are a bit smaller then the lantern cells...but off hand I don't know the power reserves / tech specs on them. Good Luck and Sorry I don't have any fresher information.

Initial BigAl Book impressions
Mr Grenier had requested that I type up some impressions when I had some more time. I've been using BigAl for most of the day now, and I have some time now after a days worth of playing. The biggest things that I've noticed have been the quality of the keyboard, and the lack of noise from the machine. I have been sitting in my living room and the disk drives on my Tivo are louder than this notebook. The fan has not turned on yet, but I haven't done anything that I would call processor intensive as of yet. The keyboard is quite solid and a pleasure to type on. The keyboard illumination is quite cool, and it can be controlled from both System Preferences, as well as from the F8 thru F10 keys. The sensors are in the speaker grills. When the sensors notice a lack of light, they light the keyboard and they dim the screen. Quite quite cool. The screen is, as you'd imagine, immense. I feel like I have more screen real estate with this notebook than I did with my G4 and a 19 display. Shrinking the dock bar has made the screen feel that much larger. The screen has great visibility from the sides as well as from the front. I'd say that you could easily have 3 people watching a movie on the screen and all would have a good picture. The screen opens quite easily. It's balanced quite well and there's not a lot of effort to open it. There are two latches that help hold the lid shut. Both appear to be made of metal and are opened with one button. No dead pixels that I can tell. I carried the notebook to a friend's office today and, even without a case, it's not a burden to carry. It's no heavier than the Dell 5000 notebook that I use for my office. Due to it's size and the lack of texture on the surface of the notebook, it can feel a bit awkward in your hand. I will not be carrying this around without a bag, or at least a sleeve of some sort. I am going to a friend's house tomorrow to try out a new bag he bought for his laptop. If that doesn't work out, I have seen some good reviews of the Brenthaven case from Apple. The case itself feels quite solid, considering that it's only an inch thick. There's a little bit of play in the latch when the screen is closed. The lid wiggles up and down a small bit. Wireless reception is good. I'm currently only using 802.11b here at home, but the reception on this notebook is better than I'm getting on my wife's Lombard with her Cisco Aironet card. App performance seems quite good so far. I've been using a 400Mhz G3 Lombard, and a PIII-500 for the last month, so a lot of things may seem quicker. So far I haven't found many things that I can complain about. The mouse button doesn't sit quite level from one side to the other. It's not that it's loose, but one side sits even with the main part of the case, where the other side sits up a bit higher. I wish that the case had a *bit* more texture to it so that my hands could feel like I had a better grip on the case when I'm carrying it. There was no Firewire 800 to Firewire 400 adapter included with the unit, so I really only have one firewire port that I can use right now. It would be nice to have had one firewire port on each side of the machine. There is a USB port on each side of the machine. The track pad is a bit on the touchy side when I'm using it. So far, I'm quite happy with my purchase. I sold off 4 other machines I had, and added some cash to bankroll this. I feel that I'm definitely going to get my money's worth out of this laptop. I have found OSX equivalents for most of the apps that I used to use. I have a few things to track down yet, but that shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully this will give anyone who hasn't received their unit yet, or is thinking about ordering one, an idea of what to expect. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions either here in the list, or via email. Steve Fulller -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
