Differences between 1.33GHz and 1.5GHz 12" PowerBook?

[pl1984]

Aside from the obvious processor speed and disk capacity specifications what, if any, benefit does the 1.5GHz model offer over the 1.33GHz model? I'm specifically interested in differences which are not BTO specific.

The 1.5ghz has improved bluetooth, faster standard HDD (5400 instead of 4200RPM) and the Sudden Motion Sensor to protect the HDD.
In practice, my 1.33 model feels faster than my 1.5 as it has a 7200RPM drive.

The 1.5Ghz model also has a USB based trackpad that natively supports two finger scrolling. It also does not properly support hibernating via the Powerbook hibernate hack.

This is probably one of the more practical advantages of the last model. 2 finger scrolling out of the box is really big if you actually plan on using the machine.

You know, I just have to ask. Why aren't you a mod? You're so mod-like.

Thank you for the compliment. I've never been asked by the staff of MacRumors to be one. Don't know if I have the time to be one now.
