Especially after waking from Sleep, it just powers off.
This pisses me off so bad, becaues I love the simplicity of apple, but My powerbook G4 was giving problems too.
Somebody help me, I hope this isn't an issue to where I have to return or take it to the apple store for replacement, i hate doing that.

I have encountered the same problem. My mac book is on sleep mode and it won't wake up. It sleep in the middle of doing something. I thought it turned it self off but if I closed the lid the light turned on. I just send the my mac book for repair and it was pick up by DHL few hours ago. I did a hardware test with the CD it came with it and it shows no hardware problem. I try to reinstall the software but it sleep during the installation. I try to restart several times and I also reset the PR ram but I still encountered several kernel panic. I deleted the Microsoft office for mac then my computer started to work for few minute. I thought everything will be fine so rip a DVD using mactheripper and my computer wen't to sleep again, so I turned it off but nothing is showing on the screen when I turn it on. The only I did on macbook is upgrade the ram to 2 gb and installed microsoft office for mac, photoshop element 3 and popcorn 2

Since my mac book was upgrded to 80gb they won't accept exchange and they have to be send to factory for repair. I learned my lesson next time I just buy the standard version. I only got my macbook for 8 days

Did any of you guys that got it replaced do it at the apple store?
This is terrible man. Also, I thought there was right click on this thing when you hold both fingers on the mousepad ant press? It doesnt seem to be doing that for me.

Hi,
You need to enable that in system preferences, by default its not enabled.
To enable, go to System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Trackpad>Tap trackpad using two fingers as a secondary click
