My Lease is up!
My lease on my 1 gig ram/processor 17 inch is up!
Time to upgrade to a 1.5 with 2 gigs!
I had to do a tradeshow photoshop file off this 1 gig 17, and the file size got up to 2.27 gigabytes...still this machine chewed through all the work, whilst my PC, wouldn't even open the file.
Kudos....anyone want a 17?

go for the reburbished... no real competition from the iBook... pBook is faster, getter graphics card, quicker (and more) RAM, funky design.
Macconnection offers similar deal also, however, you can order like on Apple site BTO it take longer but it's possible nad they don't charge tx neither.

I couldn't find where you can BTO on macconnection's website. Can you link?
nope im getting a Military Airlift Command powerbook... that combined with the 12" should really help me pick up chicks!
my 12" shipping in canada but ....
My 12" pb shipped in canada (ordered on monday), however apple didn't get the order right, and shipped it with the stock hd. what do i do in cases like this? ship it right back, or negotiate with apple to exchange the harddrive at a local repair shop?

I would get the powerbook replaced from apple, once they start fudging inside, you might have troubles in the long run.
plus an apple care dealer might take just as long to get you the drive.

Longest thread?
For those of you keeping score, this is not the longest thread ever. The longest I've found so far is PowerMac G5 Updates - March 23rd?
This thread is however much more relevant.

Powerbook 12in problems in the UK
I'm in the UK, and the release of the new powerbook 12in was enough to convince me to finally get a Mac.
I partially want this as a media system so I can display video on my TV.
Unfortunately, after spending quite a long time speaking with Apple UK, it seems that the required Mini-DVI to Video adaptor is not available in the UK. At all.
Apple US sell it, but they don't ship to the UK.
This is a complete deal breaker for me, so I guess I'm one potential customer lost for Apple.
This is a warning to others in the UK. Despite what it says on the UK site for the specs of the 12in Powerbook, you can not connect it to a TV.

Sorry but the 12" do not have S-video out.Brundlefly said:

To clarify things, I've found that there are a few third party UK suppliers who seem to have the cable in stock (for instance I used MicroWarehouse).
Following this, I've now taken the plunge and ordered a 12in powerbook.
I'm still really unimpressed with Apple UK's store though. I don't understand why they don't stock key cables for their laptops. I'll probably write a letter of complaint to their Ireland head office.

Regarding TV-out in the UK...
Hmm... That's weird... If you go to The UK Apple Store and click on "accesories" and then under "Cables and adapters" there is a "Mini DVI to Video Adapter"... Wouldn't that do the trick?

Odd. It doesn't show up for me. They have the DVI to Video adaptor for the G5, and the Mini-VGA to Video adaptor for the iBook and old Powerbooks, but not the Mini DVI to Video Adapter.

Obviously they sell it, it costs 15 pounds,
