    in is 15" really worth it? Comment by webwilly June 2005
  • Hey, Well done on making the switch. Here are a few points you might want to consider: 1) the video card is better on the 15" model, with the option of a 128mb card on the SD model. 2) battery life is better on the 12", you get 3.5-4 hrs compare…
    in Switcher: Getting a 12" or 15" PowerBook: a couple of questions Comment by webwilly June 2005
  • My 15" AlBook 1.33 has the cpu set to automatic and is at about 30% CPU load but the temperature of the processor is still 61 degrees C. It never goes over 64 but the fan is on quite a lot of the time. The heat is generated when I quickly browse thr…

  • I get about 3 hrs on my 1.33 15" AlBook, that's with the screen on full and airport on, just browsing and stuff. With my old 1Ghz iBook i would get close to 5 hrs with full brightness and airport on doing the same stuff. The iBook had 768Mb and …
    in How long do you get out of your battery? Comment by webwilly June 2005
  • If they bring out higher definition powerbooks with Centrino-like insides I might consider it... particularly if the 12" PB made the transition to a widescreen display of either 12 or 13 inches. That would get me in line outside the applestore on la…
