So we all know that the 12" Powerbook generates alot of heat, some us us feel that it varies from "Ahh, its fine." to "Holy freakin crap its hot!". I am curious to ask some of the 17" Powerbook owners how they feel the heat is on their laptops. Do you notice it during regular use? Everytime I...

I'm waiting to make the switch from my POS Compaq Presario laptop to the new 15.4 Albook. Please may it come soon!!!!!

Is your 12" Albook serving as a desktop replacement or supplement? I tested one in an Apple store recently and thought it was kinda slow, noticably slower than the 15" TiBook. I love the Aluminum, new design, fit and finish was incredible. Definately a beautiful laptop. What are your...

i have been told that Mac's have very little problems with virus', particularly because there are few people out there who want to write a bug that would attack a Mac. Is this in any way true? There have to be some viruses out there, so what software do you guys recommend to get?

Why is Norton so bad on the Mac? What problems does it cause?

Anyone have any insight into what may come out on Tues? I am REALLY REALLY hoping for the 15.4 Alubook. I am waiting to make the switch until this comes out. Boy am I ready to get off this Compaq P.O.S. Everyone says that Apple has this supposed big stock of 15's that they are waiting to...

Hey everyone, I am in need of a new computer, and I am going to snag either a 12 or 15 Alubook. Unforntunately, we have no real idea when the 15 is being released, and I like the 12. It's smaller, which is much more portable. I have an external CRT to plug it into so I am not really worried...

it seems like all the forums say a 15.4" Powerbook update is on the way, several people saying they have information pointing to a release day of Valentine's day. (Wouldn't that be convenient) I was initially very interested in the 12" Alubook, but speed tests reveal it to be slower than the...

Wow... that sounds great! I guess I will have to wait then... May I ask where you found this information?

Does anyone have any idea or know anything about when the 15" Powerbook will be updated to the level(s) of the new 12 and 17? I am looking to get a 15" Pbook but am wary about purchasing one, i expect that it should/will be updated in the next 6 months... Any thoughts? Please feel free to...

Does anyone have any idea or thoughts about when Apple will update the 15" Powerbook, (hinge screen, backlit keys, better video card, etc)?
