Hallo everyone,
i'm not still a Mac user, but i'm very interested to switch to Mac as soon as possible.
By reading the Apple Forum on www.apple.com i saw there are a lot of post about some problems about hardware or software troubles. Probably they are less than in a Microsoft Forum .
Now i need an opinion about PowerBooks about hardware and software too.
My email, if someone wants to write directly, is: [email protected]
Thank you very much for your help. I hope to be as soon as possible a Mac user as you are.

i think the first means, the PB15 has some issues - check me if its problematic and the second option is the PB15 is perfect, - check me if you recommend it

I'm a student and I just got a 15" AlBook 1.25 Ghz. It's beautiful! After my screen was replaced, I've got nothing but compliments about it. This is an amazing machine... get it.

Hi all,

I'm also new here.

I've ordered my Al 15" PB and should arrived in few weeks time as it's out of stock from Local Apple Store.

I've ordered 15" 1.25Ghz,SD,1GB SDRAM and I also put in Virtual PC in it as my Office will be using PC while I'll be the only with Mac!

Regards
sbw
- Decided & Bought -
15" PB G4 1.25 GHz, 512 DDR RAM, 80GB HD, SD, AP, BT and VERY HAPPY WITH IT!

Mine has given me nothing but problems so far. Much of this is due to AppleCare incompetence.

I've now sent it to AppleCare in Amsterdam three times. The first time, I sent it for the following complaints:

1) White spots
2) Awful airport reception
3) Warped lid
4) Keys on lower right side of keyboard made annoying "click" sound as if they were sticky (from day one)

I got it back and only problem 1 had been fixed. So I sent it back to Amsterdam.

Got it back and only problem 2 had been fixed. Worse, they introduced a new problem:

5) big gap between the bottom case and the top of the bottom case visible all along the front and that flexed when you applied weight to the palmrests.

So now it's back with Apple for a third time. There has been no explanation for why they didn't bother to fix the other problems.

If it comes back this fourth time and is not perfect, I'm asking for a new one.
