Congrats...eat a taco for me!
 
Rev A?

Anyone have any thoughts on Rev A with the 12" PB? Perhaps Panther pre-installed, 1 GHz G4, 1 MB L3 cache? I still don't understand why they didn't include the L3 cache. I understand the 1 GHz---perhaps it was making far too much heat. But no L3? L3 cache makes a surprisingly nice addition.

I plan to buy the 17" PB a year from now when it's loaded with USB 2.0 and a PPC 970 (single or dual). But I think a 12" with 640 MB will hold me over for a year, esp. since I need it for class, travel, etc.

Is the 12" PB perfect for the student?

Basically to differentiate between the models I think
