This isn' t a problem with the last-generation of PowerBooks, it' s just a problem with the 12' version.

Also gives me a lot of opportunities to test out the security of my 15' MBP.The one thing I really dislike about this computer is its monitor. Has a Firewire-400 port, which gives me a lot of media-related options (think: digital camera tethering). I actually still carry this around with me some times, and I always get the 'I didn' t know Apple made such a cute laptop' comment.For now, my G4 is perfect as a media server and dedicated media ripper/encoder/etc. It' s size is perfect for the road, even better than a tiny netbook. They replaced my MoBo and battery right before AppleCare ended, so I expect to get a good three or so years more out of the laptop.At 12', my G4 is a powerful machine! It runs Leopard fine, though if you don' t need all the features of Leopard, it runs Tiger much faster. It was this little machine that convinced me I was right to switch to Apple, and it' s this little machine that reminds me how good Apple is about customer service.

This was my first Mac, and I bought it after being frustrated with flakiness I experienced from Dell and its lineup.
