My CTX AMD K6-300/128 MB RAM/3 GB drive laptop is obviously at the end of its life. I was in the "shopping" process for a laptop for 2 months now, and I considered a number of PC laptops, including the Compaq Presario 1525US. At the end, I decided to get the new 12" Powerbook, came in last week, and I am since then using it as my primary machine. Here is what I think about it.

I have Red Hat running on two machines at home, and the fonts look a million times better on my 12" powerbook than they ever have on any version of Linux I've tried.
I've also crashed my 12" a couple of times when I was playing with beta IP over Firewire drivers. After I removed them....I haven't rebooted in days.
If anyone was discouraged by this article, I'd strongly reccomend reading a few more reviews before giving up. This is my first mac and I can't stand using my XP or Linux machines at all anymore.
p.s. Isn't the 12" powerbook made from aluminum, and not titanium?
