Sam:

Is the battery longevity that different between your 1GHz Ti and your previous
667MHz?  I have the 667, and using a newish battery from the Apple Store
(presumably one of the higher-capacity units made for the 1GHz units), I can
easily get 4+ hours with medium screen brightness and Airport in constant use.

I've been debating the same 1GHz Ti versus 1.25GHz Al upgrade from my 667, but
also don't want to give up the outstanding battery life...
