just bought a 12" Tibook for my wife. Fantastic machine! Sleek, whisper quiet, fabulous screen, so far it seems to be just about perfect.
You actually bought a 12" AlBook for your wife. All the new Powerbooks are Aluminum. :)
than my Indigo Firewire iBook. I think I've read widely on the web about the Powerbooks being warmish. The news today about the 15" PB with overheating batteries got me slightly worried, though. So the question is: is what I am describing normal for 12" Tibooks?
That's close to where the hard drive is, so it can get a bit warm from time to time. There's a lot of stuff packed into a 12" PB so there's not as much room for ventilation, therefore it's going to run warmer than most anything you've run into before. That G4 generates a lot of heat. :)
- the often-discussed question of fingerprints on the screen: on my iBook I always place the foam sheet that came with the machine on the keyboard before closing the lid. The Tibook seems to have two feet on the lid that may actually prevent the keys from touching the screen. I would be inclined to use the same strategy and place the foam thingie on the keyboard before closing the lid. Any thoughts?
I still have issues with keyprints on my 17" PBs screen. You can use that foam thing, or purchase a nice soft cloth from someplace like RadTech. http://www.radtech.us I have the radtech cloth and I've been quite happy with it. It cleans the screen well too w/o scratching it.
