I'm in the same situation. I absolutely love the size of my 12 inch powerbook. I hook it up to my 23 inch monitor at home and it travels like a dream on the road. It's a couple years old and I still get comments from people who love its...

What a joke. Apparently Apple knows exactly how loyal we are to the OS. I think this is a pretty fair barometer of the kind of update we will see with the Powerbooks in September or October. They are gonna outright limp to...

Okay, I put in a REAL solid effort to figure this out but I've got nothin. I can't get my iPod Shuffle to play music. I think I've done something that has a simple cure because it just happened when I was fiddling with the...

I am currently considering this exact decision. I've heard the 12 inch can get really loud when it is hooked up to the display. Plus, rumors abound that it gets way too hot to run in "clamshell" mode. I've been...

Am I getting this right that the iBook does not have a DVI connector? So minis can be hooked up to LCDs but not iBooks? Can iBooks hook up to a fat CRT? My plan is showing weakness already!

Can new iBooks be hooked up to Apple displays? Apple doesn't mention anything about iBooks in their system requirements for the monitors. I am thinking the combination of a 12 inch iBook and a 20 inch Apple display could make me...

Speakers and Airport. Affected in the future or not? I'm stubborn and I'm still going to buy a laptop this summer because I need one for school. However, I might be a little more restrained with software/peripherals. But I cannot...
