iBook robustness

[apple_g5]

Like a rock!

I've got a new iBook 12" - the casing is extremely robust. I've got the book in my bag most of the time -> thats not the optimum position for something fragile... the iBook works fine!

To address the battery life question, I've gotten times approaching 6 hours with Airport activated and several applications in use.
I'm not sure about the longevity during DVD playback as I've never watched more than about 30 minutes of a DVD while unplugged.

About 2 or so hours on DVD playback.

"Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I placed my order for a 12" iBook with a 60Gb HDD last night. I'll try it out for a while and if I feel I need more performance, I'll bung in a 1gb RAM stick later."

Very wise. That´s what I did. Didn´t take me long to get an extra 512 ram stick though, but the ibook only shipped with 256 back then.
Enjoy
