I love my AL Book 15. Solid as a Rock. I really haven't made many demands battery wise. You can expect 3hrs managing power usage. Not one kernel panic or hiccup in the 30days it's…

Orion27: Yeah, it's nice. The funniest and most ridiculous thing were the comments from my friends who are Windows users. Friend: Why do you want a Mac? Me: I love the design, the…

Apple did recently post a battery update, get it and you might gain some minutes. I gained 50 minutes and now have a 4 hour battery life with BT off, AE off and screen down to hal…

Thanks, I have already installed the battery update. 2.5 hrs. is to be expected then. I'm cool with that.

Congrats on your Job and your purchase. I'm sure you'll love it.

typoon: Thanks. I'm loving it!

Glad you are loving it. I got a 12 Inch right after xmas and I love it. What a great little machine this is

I identical model came xmas eve. And I' loving it more and more. I have surprised myself as I even like the keyboard to type on, which I thought I wouldn't. Its a great machine.

For me there was a big difference coming from a 15" Ti 667Mhz PowerBook to a 15" Al 1.25Ghz PowerBook. These are the things I've noticed that are BETTER on the Al PB: 1. Screen re…

selowitch: Yes. I guess I'm more of a perfectionist. And since I previously worked on the 667's screen I can tell pretty easily by comparing the 2 screens. In fact, I would argue t…

Quick question: I found a great deal on a AL 15" Powerbook but the downside is it does not include a superdrive, which I love on my 12" because of Idvd, my question is can and whe…

officially, no. willing to void your warranty? then, yes. the 'superdrive' is standard 3rd party vendor fare. my 12" pb contains a matsushita UJ-815 drive. i believe the AL15"pb …

I received a 12" 1GHz no-SD powerbook as a gift and decided that it was stupid to have two PBs, so I am selling my Ti 1GHz SD machine. Before I started the sales process, however,…

I am thinking of trading my 12" PB SD up for a 15" PB non-SD mainly for the real estate space and then buying a external firewire DVD-R. My main reason I use my SD now is to burn …

I'm not sure but look into Toast. I think a new version was released recently. Might be what you're looking for.

I think you want Sizzle (I think it lets you author DVD menus, et cetera) Search macupdate or versiontracker.

Hi all. I have a Rev. A 12-inch Powerbook, and I was wondering if it's cool to run Folding@Home on it. As soon as I start up the app, the fan comes on immediately and never goes …

Yeah, I have a 15" and my fan comes on all the time. I stop using it. . .

Anything that runs your CPU at full is going to make the fan come on. That's normal. I've got fah going on my Tibook right now and it's fine.
