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.

with HD are way more common than you think. I'm an avid digital photographer, and I used to use microdrives because of the greater storage capacity (that was before the 1GB CF came out). Well, I had two microdrives fail on me in the Alps - both IBM microdrives. The HD spins with a very thin cushion of air and air pressure density changes can basically cause your disc to "snag" and crash. However, in my limited experience, the failure is instant - no clunking sound preceding it. YMMV. Then again, I avoid all Fujitsu drives, as this company is notorious for not acknowledging hard drive problems they've had for years - just a bad company whose attitude to consumers merits a boycott. Thanks for the heads up - by coincidence I was looking to buy a 15" powerbook soon - I'll make sure to avoid Fujitsu drives on principle - of course, I wonder if I can specify, when buying, that I only want a Toshiba or non-Fujitsu hard drive, LOL!
