i bought a 12" powerbook not too long ago and love it. i didn't get the air-port card because i didn't know if that was the best one for it or not. since the 12" powerbook doesn't have a pci slot on the side like its larger siblings...is there anything else besides the apple product that will fit? which ones do y'all like the best?

thanx in advance!

Actually the airport extreme card is the ONLY card you can use. There are no 3rd party options that I am aware of for the 12" Powerbook. The airport cards are very nice, extremely well integrated, and work GREAT!

Go buy an airport card.

They don't have PCI slots on the side, either: the 15" and 17" have CardBus-compliant PC Card slots.

AirPort Extreme is something called Mini-PCI, and that's what the internal AirPort slot is.
