Star Update on the 12" Powerbook Review; Altitude Problems?
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Mon 3rd Mar 2003 20:39 UTC
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.

>if removing a hard drive from a 12" Powerbook is easier than from an iBook

Unfortunately not...

There are a number of points about the features and quality of the 12" powerbook when compared to the 15"/17" Powerbooks, including the above, which make to always refer to this machine as the "Power-ibook" when I am among friends. ;-)
In fact, my sources (yes, I got some ;) say that this laptop was MEANT to be the next generation ibook from Apple, but the last minute they decided against it as the new line Powerbooks were not ready (as we saw recently the 17" Powerbook is already late).
