How about running a 12 inch 1.5GHz powerbook with the 20 cinima display with energy savings turned on? Given what IRez said above today, that actually might do the trick.

Ok, so energy savings does not work. How about getting a Targus Notebook Chill Mat - with two fans? That way you might cool the notebook sufficiently. If this worked, you still wou…

I'm curious if the Rev. D 15's have this problem. I'm planning to get a 15" this summer, and a 20" LCD to go with it...If the fans are on all the time I may have to reconsider the…

cheetah. It was super hot yesterday here and i used my new alu 15" (closelid mode & laptop mode) from 6:30 am to 10:30 pm. (long day) and i was doing hard core shite all day l…

Hmm...That probably settles it then. Only problem now is money

The question remains what is the best solution once you have a 12 inch powerbook and you have an external screen or you think at least about getting one, like I do. Concerning the…

How about getting an iBreeze for your PB 12"?

How about moving to Greenland? j/k

I was just looking at flights to Greenland the on Friday and it is rather tricky to get there from the US. Concerning ibreeze vs. Targus Chill Pad - whatever cools better. I think …

Would using the iBreeze or Antec notebook cooler eliminate the need for the PB fan to kick on? I've read some impressive reports about the Antec notebook cooler lowering the inter…

Hi all! I'm a newbie to this board, so this is my first post! Here's my setup: PB 12 (rev D, 1.25 gig ram, 100 gb hd, apple wireless keyboard and mouse) , Dell 20inch LCD. I…

Can anyone else with Rev D PB 12 confirm that the fans are quiet(er) when external display and no USB devices are used?

Irus, I bought a 12" Rev D PB a week ago but I'm still waiting for my 20" ACD to arrive. I'll give everyone an update once I hook the ACD.

I wound up with the LapCool2 to externally cool my PB 12". It's not as quiet as I'd like, but on the fan's lowest setting, it keeps my PB's fan quiet enough to make me happy. http…

Hi everyone, I received my 20" ACD today and I briefly connected the monitor to my 12" Rev D combodrive PB and the fan didn't kick on at all. I'll give everyone a more through up…

Yes, let us know. I am certainly very curious to hear what you have to say.

I have a 20" ACD at home and a 2005FPW at work and my Rev.C 12" fan runs non-stop at home w/ the ACD, even when its idle, and the fan hardly ever comes on at work when connected to…

I have my 12" PB Rev D (Tiger) hooked up to my 20" ACD and I don't hear a thing from where I'm sitting. If I place my ear directly on to the PB surface, I do hear something runni…

hakstooy, you're definitely not the only one. My 12" rev B's fan would come on as soon as it was attached to my 20" ACD at home. It would never come on when I attached it to my Sa…

Klamyfeat. That is great news. The 12 inch/20 inch combo might be back in business for my August purchase. Quote: Originally Posted by klamyfeat I have my 12" PB Rev D (Tig…

Hmm, this be some weirdness Simon. But, I guess as long as the temp isn't in dangerous territory, its not that bad. But all the humming is annoying. But it seems they fixed it wit…
