Apple OSNews featured two reviews 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.

RE: Shouldn't freeze OS X

Well, the sound did come from the disk, the heads were parking all the time and after that the hdd fan would come on and off. It was like was initializing itself all the time! And during this "initialization", the OS *would and should* freeze. It is a very low level operation and no matter the DMA, it would have an impact on the OS.
