Actually, it has the same battery life as a TiBook. Consumes the same amount of watts.
How long do the batteries last on a Mac laptop running OSX? 2.5hrs

I agree that the build quality on Sonys are sorely lacking. Along with the rest of their shortcomings. I just hope this DOES make Apple going a little bit higher on screen rez, and…

Is my PB dead? — #4
You can wipe the HDD and start over again, but to do that you need another system disk to boot from. For you this means a CD I'm afraid. Have you tried holding down the option ke…

You can use an external scsi drive to boot from or you can use a scsi buddy (with a docking switch) to dock your PB with another mac to reformat & install a new system folder. …

I bet it's your hard drive. My Ti 400 had a really loud hard drive that sounded like a fan. Try running iTunes with the visualizer on until the fan REALLY comes on and you wil…

I'd recommend the Tilt 'n Tote handle for the TiBook. I was pretty concerned about the heat/fan issue when I first got my TiBook and it *was* pretty hot (esp. over the "SDF" are o…

When running the computer, just pop off the keyboard. If the fan is …
