I like my powerbook, too. The only problem I've found is that it wobbles a bit... gets a little warm too. Very quiet. Speakers aren't bad considering size (better than my Vaio). Sleep mode is great,...

I've had my 12" PB for a couple days now and the fan has come on briefly, after a couple hours use, and my room is about 80+ degrees. The metal's gotten pretty hot. If yours is coming on so quickly I...

I say everyone contact the BookEndz people and request that they make a dock for the new 12" PB. They're "considering" it, they say.

I don't know, there has to be a cut off point sometime. I needed my PB as soon as possible and couldn't wait for Panther. $69 for an upgrade doesn't sound unreasonable to me. It is, after all, for a...

Very helpful! Thanks. What about noise? Do the fans come on a lot and are they loud? Also, I've never owned a sub-compact, are the screens easy to read off?

Have you reconditioned the battery, or charged it like Apple tells you to? I've been reading that it helps with the heat. Also, are you running on AC or battery when it gets hot?
