12" Powerbook: Slick and Sexy, But Not Without Issues
Gentu writes "Two very good reviews on the 12" Powerbook have been published today. The first review can be found at the Washington Post and is very positive but not very thorough, while the second one found at OSNews is an in-depth review of the popular Mac laptop, tackling down many issues that future purchasers should be aware of. 'The new 12" Powerbook is nothing more but an iBook on steroids with a G4 in it' OSNews concludes, but the overall read is very interesting."
> Slick and Sexy, But Not Without Issues That reminds me, I need to call my ex.
... I don't own one.
There are fewer illiterates than people who can't read.
Yeah, they finally crammed an Athlon into a laptop... the case is metal, so the whole thing acts as a 12" heatsink :)
If you overclock it, it does a cool impression of the T1000 from Terminator 2!

Anyone else find this quote amusing? "The new Porsche is nothing more than a VW Golf on steroids with a much better engine in it."
The crimes of eBay are a disgrace to it's pig latin heritage!
your biggest flaw ;-)
The iBooks are like models. They are nice to look at and nice to play with and fondle, but when it comes down to it, they have a lot of flaws and will most likely vomit after every meal and have a weird sexual past.
because after you use it on OSX you'll grow disillusioned with other implementations thanks to Apple's improvements in the JVM and Swing/AWT :)
