Here is another observation about the new Powerbooks: Never grasp the center of the lid when you are opening the Powerbook from sleep. It is almost impossible to avoid pushing in the latch that sticks out of the slot at the front. When you do this the Powerbook quickly goes back to sleep. Then when you release it again it comes awake. It does a flash on and off effect that can be very disconcerting. Another observation is that the cooling seems much more efficient then other Powerbooks. I have all the performance options on this beast and I have yet to hear the fans come on. The case gets uniformly warm to the touch without any identifiable hot spots. I guess the design allows for heat to be directed to the outside surface of the case and lets it spread and dissipate into the air. Nice touch. jg
