That's the theory, at least. My Airport reception is about the same as
the TiBook's (and much worse than my clamshell iBook's on the same

going to test it on that before I take it down to an authorized Apple
repair shop.
It's much more than a theory. If you look up the side of the display of the
AlBook there are 2 cut-outs that are covered with Plastic where the antennae
are. My G4 1.33GHz 17" Albook has 2x the airport range of my 667 TiBook
DVI.
I'm glad it's more than theory for you. I guess there's something wrong with my hardware. With any luck, switching out the Airport Extreme card will take care of it. I don't look forward to having to send my new PowerBook off to Apple for repair, expecially now that I've got everything on it (vs. having a desktop Mac to use as well).
I've heard that, in the new AlBooks, sometimes the antenna is loose on delivery. It might help to open it up and reseat the card and the antenna to see if that fixes it before sending off for repair. Kyle, have you found this to be the case?
