I went from a 667 to a Rev A 12". I was very worried that I'd miss the extra screen size, but I don't. I've had to get used to using my windows a bit differently, but it's just a m…

I also went from a Ti to a 12. I had a Ti 800, and now I have a 12 " 1 Gig. 1. Will I miss my 15 inch widescreen. Depends on what you do. I have a desktop with a Cinema Display, …

Well, heres another point to look at. I went from a 667 Ti DVI to a rev a 867 12" and was not very happy at all. The screen was way to small for me, and the thing got hotter than a…

Thanks for all of the replies, I'm not unhappy with my ti550 i just feel like it is just a little lagging sometime. I was planning to upgrade my ram to 1 gig...which will cost ab…

One more thing, I do transfer alot of photo from PM to my TiBook via giga ethernet. I've just notice that the 12 PB do not have gigabit ethernet. How much slower will the files b…

Well, the file transfers will be, like, 10x slower . You can use firewire to get faster than 100mbps, though. Definitely sell the Tibook if you can get $1k, that's pretty good.

Forgive me for my dumb question, but how exactly do i transfer files from my PM to my PB through the fire wire.

Transfer files by firewire in "Target Disk Mode" Power up the PM. connect the firewire cable to the PB. Start the PB holding down the "T" key. Wait for the Firewire logo to bounce …

I went from a 14.1" iBook to the 12"PB. So far I haven't missed the size. I thought I would. I've enjoyed the larger screens. I don't miss the size at all. It is up to you. Y…

I switched from a Ti500 to a Al12 some months ago. 1. Will I miss my 15 inch widescreen. For spreadsheet work: definitely yes! For the rest maybe no. The compact size of the Al1…

Just went from a Ti 1 GHz to an Al 12" 1 GHz, here is the rundown: (1) Display: Yes, the widescreen display of the Ti is nice, and yes 1024*768 is ridiculously low-res. That said…

I haven't read any other replies yet, but I'll throw mine in. I went from the same machine you have (The Ti 550) to a 12" Ai. For a year, I didn't miss the screen at all, as the …

Have you looked at the $700 trade in they are doing on old PB's at the moment? I believe that your model qualifies. However you have to upgrade to a 15" or 17" machine.

_?_ if read above i have a buyer for my PB at $1k. I would like to thank everyone for the inputs. Today i went out and went with the 15 1ghz PB. My orginal plan was to purchase …

I just recently upgraded to 10.3.2 and now my stupid fan runs all the time. I never had any problems with heat before and I was happy with the settings on the fan in 10.2. Have a…

Have not tried it and I hope Apple changes the fan settings on the next update. I agree that it does get annoying that the fan turns on everytime it's pluged in and i'm just usi…

I dropped my month-old powerbook! Augh! It was in a Tucano second skin, I was just putting it back on the shelf, it slipped out of my hands and fell five feet to a hard wooden fl…

I feel for ya brother.

Not dropped mine yet, but you know that feeling you get when you nearly drop it... I get that often and I swear to be more careful.

The damage looks minimal, but just like with "minor scratches" in cars, it _hurts_ a lot. How bad did it look before the fix?

It did actually look a lot worse. I almost burst into tears when it happened. I'm glad you think the damage looks minimal. Of course, to me, it looks anything but minimal. I su…

As long as it works I would say just leave it. It also shows how strong these machines are. Imagine if you did that to a PC laptop. Just keep that in mind.

I dropped my Rev A 12" Powerbook in South Station before Thanksgiving and it has a dent similar to yours, but on the front left corner. The latch actually closes better now! Its a…

It's true. In a way, it demonstrates another advantage of the aluminium casing. It's relatively malleable, and so it can absorb shock by deforming in localised areas while mainta…
