folks,



i'm in order to buy a 12" powerbook w/ superdrive.

How much time takes it to burn - lets say - 4gig onto a dvd with 1x superdrive?



what a about heat problems with that particular unit. I know it drives hot, but is it acceptable?



i intend to use fcexpress (today i recieved my free copy). i also intend to connect a second monitor. any advices to that plan?



best

    Second monitors are now problem, unless they're not VGA: DVI and ADC monitors require expensive converters for use with the 12" PowerBook.



    It takes about an hour to burn a 4GB DVD at 1x.



    (4GB = 32,000Mbits, DVD 1x rate = 11Mbits/s, 32,000/11 = 2909seconds)
