I don't think you can run Windows on the G4s can you?

Can't figure out OSX yet. Took me a while just to install Firefox. It looks pretty though and isn't as annoying as Vista so far.

Unibody is great. No stupid plastic trim pieces to superglue back together like my 13" XPS. Smaller footprint, thickness, lighter weight also. The sharp edges bother me though.

Touchpad is terrific. Two finger scroll, three finger forward/back, four finger desktop/applications, very useful.

Magnetic power connector is smart, so is backlit keyboard/auto-dimming display. Power supply is very compact.

I hear the iLife software is decent, maybe this week I'll use it.


Lenovo S10-2
Weight: 2lbs 11oz
Thickness: <1"
Battery time, including wireless: 8+ hours
: priceless

The netbooks around here are $250+tax (for one I can't really type on) to around $350-$399 + tax for the ones I can. The macbook was $300 and no, I can't afford that right now.

It is 0.7 inches at the front to 1.8 inches at the battery. (because the battery protrudes)

Technically it's possible, but good luck. If the powerbook is old enough they actually use the good prism wireless cards.
