RE: (OT) PowerMac | VPC {was: bad excuse but inquiry}

Good questions. The most important to me of these, is keyboard quality. I
had an IBM Thinkpad and was happy with the keyboard. But now I am addicted
to the wider screen. I know - I sound spoiled...just like a girl. "I want a
wider screen, and a nice color!"

Interesting report, Joseph. There are a few points not always mentioned in
the comparative discussions of the merits of various laptops.

 1. How good is the keyboard ? (Size, layout, key-feel.)
 2. Screen quality ?
 3. Battery life ? Swappable or extended-life battery options ?
 4. How hot does it get ? Many laptops actually get too hot to rest on
one's lap. (Several Thinkpad models have run noticeably cooler than most.)

How do the PowerMacs stack up in these areas ?
