No, seriously, I shouldn'tve said every, as I have only had Powerbooks since the Ti series rolled out. Seems that all powerbookss ince then have had a problem.
This is getting off-topic but since you're ducking and running, let me take aim and shoot again
Powerbooks are great but they have their downside, wifi being one, hot being another, longer battery. Most people don't need all the bells and whistles provided - unless you're heavy graphics user and want to look cool w/ a titanium laptop....LOL.
Dollar for dollar, I would argue the iBooks are of better value. My son has a powerbook, I use an old 12" iBook. Mine is 3 yrs old and I'm due for an upgrade. My company pays for this and guess what - I'm waiting for upgrade of iBook rather than even considering the new MacPro.
Having said this, any apple laptop is a great buy and well worth the investment. Backlighting keys, built in iCam, etc. etc.
IMHO.
