yes... writing a mail from a G4 PB 15" ... > - - Is PB 15" as warm as PB 12", as cold as iBook 14", or what?. (If is very > warm i will choose iBook). it does no get as hot as the 12" one, i.e. the front (where the akku/hd is located) stays cool all the time... however on the back it can become really hot... but you can work with the keyboard all the time not like with the 12" ones where 15 degree Celsius is the limit 8-) > - - And finally (this is less important), what about the sleep mode?. works more or less perfect... I have like 2 crashes when entering sleep mode per month and I put it into sleep mode 3-5 times a day... > Of course, any suggestion is wellcome for this newbie on the PowerPC world :-) I am very satisfied with that notebook... every hardware except external TFT/CRT/Video output are supported ... never had that with a notebook. Soeren.
