To update my info, the heating is actually better than i thought, i used it to type a paper and do some browsing in the library today from 3:30-6:30 pm and it still has around 30% left on the battery, yep that is a three hour period with about another 1.0-1.3 hours to give, i didnt overtax it and it is my first day. But back to the heat, during this period that i was using it on battery, there was almost no noticable heat, i picked it up at the end and it was mildly warm, not even handwarming warm, when i was using the superdrive the palm rest did not get noticably warm, but time will tell. So far i have been impressed with the battery, performance, heat and display, i have had no problems with wireless networking, have not used bluetooth yet so i cant report there, but i can say that i am loading final cut on my machine tonight and will hopefully get some work done on the go with final cut so i can see if the performance is for real and what the major difference between this pb and the one i had before. I have a question and favor to ask everyone, I had bought with my pb a Brenthaven Professional 15 and liked it except for several problems(too tight on the PB)returned it and bought the Timbuk2 commute bag, i really like it except for the shoulder strap, Does Anyone on this forum own the Brenthaven Profile 15 Bag and use it for the Powerbook Aluminum and can you tell me how you like and it and how it performs, Thanks
QUOTE=Grokgod]I really appreciate the information.
Now are you talking about heat in the Palm rest area? I forgot if the Superdrive is over the palm rest like the Ti, i think not.
I find this very interesting especially since you had the last verion of the ALUbook.
I had a ALu for awhile and it was so bad. I am praying that this rev is going to make me happy with Apple again.
My problems were.
White spots ,Cured!
Heat on palm rest, Better
Still concerned about.
>Track pad impossible to disable for typing, it ws TOO sensitve and was constantly moving the I-beam all over the place.
>Wobble or warp on body and lid. On a flat table my old Alu would not sit straight, weird. and the lid when closed was strangely wobbley.
How is the video card? FAST? Screen redraws in Photoshop would be great to hear about, like a 100 meg file moved quickly around, is it all slow squares or fast and smooth.
I really am glad that we have such kind members to help us all out with this very important information.
It actually helps Apple sell their units.
What about the CHIP, is it a 7447a?
What do people think about the 1.33 , would a laptop with that chip run cooler? Than a 1.5, if a 7447a runs 20w @ 1.42 then at 1.5 its hotter but at 1.3 is it noticable cooler?
I am dieing to know these things before i can buy another Alu!
TIA
opps another thing, what about during heavy tasks like SHOP work.
How is the fan then, hot and heavy>?[/QUOTE]
