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.

There is a fan in the 12" PB. It came on when it got really hot (and I mean really hot). It cooled it off pretty effectively.
I think you need to keep the price in mind. Before Macworld, I was on the verge of buying the tibook with the slot loading DVD burner (well, I was resisting and waiting). That was I think 2999 (maybe 2799). OK, so along comes this nice 12 incher for 1999 with the slot loading DVD burner. And I always wanted a G4 ibook anyways because of the smaller size. Also, Airport reception fixed. And bluetooth. SOLD
Like Eugenia said, it's just a hopped up iBook with a G4 for just a little more dough -- except she left out the DVD burner availability. That was key for me, because even though it's not a super fast burner, I can now use iDVD and I couldn't before.
