Hi, I was wondering if all you powerbook users could gimme (and other powerbook users who have thought about picking up a pad) a quickie review on what u got, how well it works, how big/heavy, and how much it costs ..

I am thinking about the Antec .. because from the reviews it seems to be the best .. (?!?) .. well I have a rev C powerbook 12. when i use it at home i use a hardcover book .. and the head often heats through it to the other side of the book. wondering if a cooling pad would keep it safe and cool. thanks

Try this... I really like it so far. Quite quiet, and very affordable. My secondary fan on my TiBook never comes on anymore.

I have a 1GHz 17".

I bought an Antec. It looks cool. It seems pretty durable, has helped on heat and battery, but kinda loud. At least I can't hear the PowerBook's fan .

Hope that helps...

its for a 15" powerbook, not for 12" you could get it, but it is bigger than you need.
