I just bought a new 867mhz 15" Titanium Powerbook last night and I'm curious about the display. How far is it supposed to bend back? At first it couldn't go much more then 90 degrees. After installing the airport card however (which was a pain in the ass in and off itself.) I'm able to bend it back almost 180 degrees. Is this normal? My iBook would never go back that far. Seems kinda odd.

I would use the same school of thought with laptop displays as with Q-tips: stop when you feel resistance.

I think they are designed to go almost 180 degrees back.... meaning laying almost flat with the keyboard. New ones seem very stiff, and often there will be a little pop or crack and the screen will be looser after that and the seam on the sides will be slightly spread at the bottom. Kinda scary but usually it's fine.

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

I have a 12"PBG4. I don't know about the 15" but the 12" manual says the screen is designed to be at angles up to 140 degrees. In general, don't tilt your screen if encounter resistance.

The 12" and 17" are restricted by their hinge design. The inner lid corner touches the body when opened more than 130-140°. The Ti design is able to be opened to about 180°. But those extreme angles put lotta stress upon the cable connector which is twisted (not to mention that 180° do not make sense as a comfortable working position).
