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.

Well, when I saw this, I went running to check my 12" PB. Well, I have the Toshiba, so I feel pretty fortunate. I live at about 1100 M and have had no problems. The fan hasn't even come on yet. Hmm, I have no anticipated plans to go to high altitudes. On the contrary, going to the ocean is more likely. I really like my PowerBook, it's been performing really well. But, that really stinks, Eugenia. I'll have to start looking at the Apple Discussion Boards to see if there are other reports of this as time goes on.
