Re: 12.1 in. 1.5ghz powerbook

I have never used a 17" Powerbook, but there is a great difference between my 12" iBook and my 12" Powerbook, with the Powerbook having about half the range of the iBook. Considering the 17" is massive compared to the 12" I would expect it to have quite a bit of antenna wire in the lid, thus the r

Re: 12.1 in. 1.5ghz powerbook

On my 17" PB, which should have the same antenna configuration as the 12", I can get a signal for half of a residential block from my house when connected to an 802.11b WAP. Steve -- G-Books is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | R

Re: 12.1 in. 1.5ghz powerbook

That is now what the Apple Store told me when I complained about the range of my 12" Powerbook compared to the 12" iBook. They told me that the antenna was larger in the iBook than than it is in the Powerbook, although the case I expect is an issue also. tom On 9/16/05 8:56 AM, "Bruce Johnson" <[

My 12" iBook has much more airport range than my 12" Powerbook does because it has a better antenna than any of the Powerbooks do. Tom On 9/15/05 3:23 PM, "tamara buffalo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am looking to upgrade from my 867 tibook this year. Does the 12 > incher PB get better airp

I am looking to upgrade from my 867 tibook this year. Does the 12 incher PB get better airport range than the 25 incher cuz that would make my choice easier. so far the ibook doesnt fit my laptop "as main computer" needs yet. TmB -- G-Books is sponsored by and... S

Re: 12.1 in. 1.5ghz powerbook

12" with PCMCIA slot and the battery life of an iBook would be my ideal portable. Since there are extended life batteries out there, I wish Apple had included a better one. -- G-Books is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Refurbi

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 d

Sorry for the late response. I love my 1.5ghz 12 inch. I had the original 12 inch. The one I have now has the built in SuperDrive. I love the size, the portability. I put in a 1gig memory chip. I find the speed just fine. I helped my housemate set up her new IBM Thinkpad tonight. It's about

12.1 in. 1.5ghz powerbook

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. Any opinions on the 1.5ghz 12 inch? v
