Okay, my new 1.25 15" PB is scheduled to come tomorrow so I am very excited. However, after reading the discussions at Apple's site and this one I have become nervous.
Many people have begun to complain about the noise of the hard drive, some even going as far as calling it a loud screech.
Also, people have reported bent screen frames as well as lightness on the screen.
Battery life has also been a hot debate with the average seeming to be around 2.5 hrs (which I don't mind too badly but when they claim 5 on a 1.00 Ghz, I'd expect at least 3 hrs for a 1.25)
Computer warmth? I have heard cool all the way up to 130 degrees. Again, I expect a little warmth, but I am just throwing this out there...
Finally, is latch-gate. Everyone seems to have a problem latching the computer, is this a major issue? How do you suspect Apple will handle this?
I am a 'switcher,' so I am coming to the platform ready and willing. I do expect some problems with a technological piece of art like the Powerbooks, but am I just becoming nervous or do I have some serious concerns?
Thanks for reading this somewhat long post and I appreciate your comments/experiences/problems I didn't address.
Soon to switch,
Kyle
