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.

Of course it doesn't mean ALL the HD are bad - even in bad batches of HDs where you have 40% failure rates within a month, you can get lucky and be within the 60% who manage to escape without harm - whoopie! Not! I for one appreciate the heads up, I don't want to take a chance here - given the substantial hassle this would represent. Any component can fail. However, why should I take a chance with a component that is KNOWN to have problems (Fujitsu HDs)? To me, better safe than sorry - which is why I often prefer to pay a bit more for better quality than take a chance - sure, there are no guarantees, but it is all about odds - I like to cut my odds of a bad outcome, and so I appreciate warnings. Perhaps you prefer to wait until your HD fails before saying "wow, it is now 100% confirmed". I prefer not to take the chance, and so I'm glad Eugenia posted the warning. YMMV.
