PowerBook-12 review
Computerworld looks at the Apple notebook I'm most likely to buy, the recently updated 12-inch version, which now sports a 1 GHz processor. And right off the bat, the review raises a bunch of issues that plagued the first version--it tended to run hot, and had a trackpad button that sometimes stuck, an uneven bottom and a latch mechanism that was flaky--raises some red flags here. Good news, however: The new version is much improved, according to the review, with slightly fewer heat problems, an integrated DVI out port, faster processor, and seemingly excellent battery life. It still runs hot, which I suppose is understandable given its size, and it's a bit cramped for everyday use, which isn't a problem for me because it wouldn't be my primary machine. Hmm...
