1.25 GHz and 5400 RPM HD config
Settings: Reduced Power, HD set to sleep whenever possible, BT and APE off, screen about 50%, sound off, and battery optimized. I get between 3 1/2-4 hours doing Safari, Mail, iChat, and Word tasks.
Got a tip for us?

heat issues
Heat is bugging,, is it possible that each Powerbook has different heat properties?
Of course would be rather strange.
A my Ti was sometimes loud with fans but the palm rest was always cold to the touch.
I had a new Alu and it was cold to the touch and ran great but the plastic ring had some issues so I exchanged it for another one.
Now i find that I have heat issues under the palm rest. it gets rather toasty and I dont like that at all!!
Any one else have this situation?
TIA
EDIt: I was only writing this tidbit on macrumors not running anything else..
I still havent heard a fan other than the usual circuit board running, the first ALU had the fan come on earlier. I find all this strange... any ideas?
