Howdy CoolKat, Yes, I was referring to the Intel laptops. The PPC laptops seem to have been solid designs, for the most part. I just got a G3/700 iBook and it works very well and looks very nice. I have seen speculation that Apple let Intel design at least the first generation of x86 laptops, since Apple had so much to deal with during the transition and Intel may not have been as focused on quality as Apple was. I don't know what the problem was, and I have not followed it closely. Mainly, I remember seeing consumer surveys that showed very high failure rates for the x86 Apple laptops and that is where I got that impression from. I believe the Apple desktops came out as one of the best, so it is not a overall x86 Apple problem. I have several friends with recent Apple laptops. The failure rate among that group has been high, too. Good day, Ralph
