screen: i have no problem with the screen at all.
keyboard: when i'm typing sometimes the curser jumps up a line or two and starts me writing there. at first i thought it was me tapping the track pad because i don't hold my hands correctly. but i could have sworn that a few times it has done it when i'm positive that i have not touched the track pad. it only ever happens in word too. i don't know, it doesn't happen enough to make me angry at my computer, just annoyed when it happens. other than that the keyboard is wonderful.
battery: i get great life from it. 4+ hours with the screen about half brightness, airport on, and using basic office/web browsing programs.
airport: the reception says that it isn't as good as the ibook, in my bedroom the ibook would always be full, the powerbook is at three bars. there is a spot in our house where the reception is always horrible, it just so happens to be the entire lounge/dining room area (we put it down to the hot water system and washing machine being between the base and this area). the powerbook says that its reception in this area isn't as good as the ibooks but it manages to hold on to it much better than the ibook. i honestly don't even notice the difference unless i look at the number of bars showing and i still get some reception everywhere in the house.
general: the computer is more than adequate for my needs, actually a 12" 1ghz ibook would have done the job easily too. when the revisions were announced and i could suddenly afford a powerbook i decided to get one, really i just wanted to get one up on my brother, and hopefully this computer will last me a long time.
overview: it is a great computer, very portable and looks beautiful. i can forgive it for the keyboard thing (which is most probably the fault of my bad typing anyway) and although the airport signal doesn't look too good it works fine.
