OSNews featured tworeviews of the new 12" Powerbook from Apple last month. Using a machine and more fairly evaluating it, is a continuous process, so when new facts emerge, we should be reporting them back. So, what I discovered this weekend is that my 12" Powerbook doesn't like... the mountains. Read on, it is an interesting issue. Update: The issue is now logged at Apple's tech support db.

NO, I can't use the drive up there. The fact that it boots, doesn't mean that it works correctly. The park of the heads of the drive would FREEZE OSX every few seconds!! that is NOT what I call "works".
And let's be serious, 1900 meters is not _that_ high, the drive should be working fine, but it wasn't. Toshiba drives seem to work absolutely fine even much-much higher.
