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 played again with the settings and the slowness of the LCD, the fact that it is terrible on quality, clarity, its very limited angle of view, all these facts remain.
I was able to make the LCD a bit acceptable by choosing again the colorLCD colorspace and by adjusting its brightness to a higher level. Still, that doesn't fix any of the above points though. ALL the other LCD monitors and laptops we have here at home, are all much better than Powerbooks'. If you have an iMac or an iBook you won't realize much of a difference as they all use the same quality LCD. Get a SONY notebook though, or a Sharp one, and you will see the difference when you scroll and update the screen, the clarity, the fonts, the angle of view...
