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.

I have an iBook that I purchased a few months before I moved from Hawaii back to the mainland (it has a Fujitsu drive) around the late November timeframe and it began to make terrible noises w/the HDD crawling to a stop. I was at sea level in Honolulu. I formatted the HDD and reinstalled OS X and all my apps. I have also made it a habit to keep my HDD defragmented (via Norton Utilities) --when I first got the iBook, being my first Mac in a LONG time, I was installing and uninstalling software like mad -- I figure my problems had to do with fragmentation, perhaps. After the cleanup I have never had any HDD problems again. Having moved to Nebraska in the winter, however, I have found the fan turning on -- werid considering that the humidity and the temps are WAY lower than they were in Hawaii.
