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 dunno, I bought an iBook a few months ago (700MHz, 12" screen, CD-RW/DVD, 128MB built-in) and I've found the LCD to be great. Maybe I'm just not as picky as eugenia, but I definitely find this LCD to be on par with, if not better than, the LCD in my previous Dell D266XT (also a 1998 machine). I slapped in an extra 256MB in my iBook and I'm not pretty satisfied with the performance. Chimera is sometimes sluggish scrolling really complicated pages, but usually it's fine. Loading apps is quick enough, and even Quake3 performance is satisfactory. Not blazing fast, but > 40fps at 800x600, which is good enough for me. It's an ATi 16MB something-or-other. Since I have a Dual Athlon Linux desktop to crunch to big stuff, this iBook has complemented it nicely. It's nice and small and was light on the pocketbook too.
