I'm probably getting a powerbook for my next machine - they are well built
(a lot of people run them at work), the screens are not particularly high
res, but they make up for than in weight.
The newer ones require kernel 2.6 AFAICT to get the video running
properly, but that shouldn't be a huge problem. I haven't check up to see
if suspend is working properly - thats a crucial isue for me.
I guess the more of us who buy them the quicker the endianness problems
will be fixed, ppc-linux-audio-user? :)
