Funny as "luggable" and unpopular the Mac Portable was it wasn't affected by these things... maybe they are but I have not seen it... It's crazy how Apple had to cut corners and costs and make some parts of their products very cheap.. and on other areas make good quality and rugged! Even though... as we were talking about with the PB100's Techknight.. it looks like sony did cheap but not badly built! The PB100 almost seems like a "Chinese" knock off version of a Macintosh laptop... lol!
But.. the PB100 had a complete redesign of the power supply circuitry, which is an order of magnitude ahead of the original Portable.
