I will be comparing the 1 GHz PowerBook G4 system to an IBM ThinkPad T30. The tested model costs almost exactly the same as the tested PowerBook G4, I was told. I have been using the PowerBook also while holding the machine on my knees while charging the battery. The bottom of the machine gets a bit warm, but not unbearably so. Typing while sitting in an armchair is a relaxing experience. The noise from the fan is audible, but not disturbing or even noticeable after a few moments.

Well, now you see why this weblog is titled 'Universal Rule'. Holy Cellular Automaton!: "Kevin Kelly has a great piece in the new issue of Wired called 'God Is the Machine.' The idea is that our universe is both a computer and the output of that computation, and that the simulation is the reality." [Boing Boing Blog]

1 GHz PowerBook G4 review updated -- Comment()
I updated the review of the new PowerBook G4. I described my experiences with AirPort/WLAN connections, and attaching video projectors to the PowerBook. I also added info about installing Unix software on the system.
