I took the whole thing apart again and pounded the dent out. Now sleep mode doesn't freeze and the airport card works again. (I took care to keep the antenna from being peirced whe…

Don't hate your friend or cast the blame on the aluminum; that is so lame. This is in the same category as the risk you run by having open containers of drinks next to your laptop…

I'm pretty picky when it comes to the looks of my Apple hardware. If my G5, display, or Powerbook ever get a ding, dent, or scratch... they are gone. Seriously, I'd have to repla…

actually double parking is when you park besides a car that is parked on a curb on the road, parking in two lanes at a supermarket/parking lot isn't really frowned upon unless the …

Thats a nice dent man! Bummer. Wonder why you are having issues? There is absolutely no components under that part of the top case (trackpad is part of top case). Plastic is by f…

I love the look of Al, but frankly after having two Al PBs, I much prefer our iBook's case.

Although I did get a warning slip one busy Saturday (Day before Easter) at a Mall I have never had a problem parking the way I do. It just makes sense to me as I like to keep thing…

It's never been a problem for me - I just watch my parking spaces and if it looks "too tight", I'll find another. No door dings or anything else like that. Not to mention I alw…

I agree, the aluminium is not robust. That said, I have a 17" that was given to me by my boss, after I drooled on it. No, really, I remarked how I would like one, and she said..…

How were the old Titanium Powerbooks? Any more robust than the Alumininum?

The AlBooks definitely dent easy. Frankly, I don't think I've seen a single model over a year old that DOESN'T have some form of denting. Alternatively, the TiBooks just cracked, s…
