Ok, I gotta post this quick before my battery dies.

No wobbles... It's perfectly flat.

NO dead pixels...

It's fast.

If anyone has any questions, post them and I'll try to answer.

w0000000000t! I love this thing!

would the amount of data you have on the hard drive effect the Disk Test score negatively?

Just got my 12" Powerbook too. It is great. Only 256 MB of RAM so far but I'll get more soon.
Here are some pictures of the Powerbook beside an iBook. It is really smaller!

I have run Benchmark comparisons with the two 'books running both 10.2.8 and P*****r build 44 but I guess I shouldn't post them...
