The lower-cost ones only have 12" screens, which is way below the industry standard. It's the upper end of the range (powerbook) that seems popular AFAICS. It may be that they're better-built than a cheaper x86, though. Oh, and if you're happy with the screen, I certainly wouldn't let 800MHz worry you. -- Nick Kew -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
