I ordered mine last Tuesday when they were released, and it's on its way from China, expected Wednesday. I don't think there is a large number of them in the country quite yet.

Mine's been shipped from Shanghai. I should get it on Monday.

I've had 5 Powerbooks since my first (PB170) and I got AppleCare for every one. In fact, I've NEEDED it for every one, from stuff like the screen shattering twice on my 170, my 3400 getting dropped by some twerp, and a variety of other things happen…

AppleCare needs to be added to your computer within the first year of its life. If you wait longer than that the computer will then be out of warranty and no longer be eligible. I get AppleCare for all my Macs, and religiously for my Powerbooks/M…

Logic is what I'm dying to try out on it.

Like you, I'm upgrading from a 1.67 GHz Powerbook, so I think the speed increase will be huge - probably in the order of 6-10x in a number of areas. I remember the first MBPs being touted as 6x the speed of the 1.67 PB, and since then we've had the …

This is exactly the update I've been waiting for. My current laptop (PB 1.67GHz) has been wheezing away for a while. It's still got a bit of go in it, but nothing compared to this. Battery life is down to about half an hour now too. It's definit…

Hmm. I got an AE(n) and replaced my Linksys router/wireless router with it. It installed in a snap and then I plugged a Fantom 500GB drive into the network drive USB port. It saw it straight away. I ended up putting all my music on that drive (it's …

I'm interested in moving to Intel. I currently use a Powerbook 1.67, which is nice, but a bit on the slow side compared to other computers I work with daily, mainly G5 models of various sorts. I'll probably wait until Leopard/Santa Rosa and then get…

I opted for the PB 3400. It worked well but was really heavy. Always loved the form factor of the 2400.

I currently use all three slots in my G5. To be honest, I could use another two in there, but one more would be fine. 3 is just not enough (I work in music and have 3 audio PCI cards in there)

I highly recommend Applecare. I get it for all my Macs, especially the laptops (I've had 4 Powerbooks covered, and they've all had something go wrong at some point, from two broken screens to a bad mobo to dead HDs etc.) There was absolutely no char…

I was always under the impression that Al Gore was a tree.

Thanks guys.

I've now tried everything. Removed the video card, replaced it with the vidcard from my working G4, tried the PMU twice... It's still dead. Do you think this might be a PS issue now?

Thanks for the tips Lundy. I tried the PMU button, but that didn't do anything - then removed the battery..waited 40 or so minutes and replaced it...still nothing. Do you have any other suggestions? This is as dead as a doornail. Thanks...
