A great affordable investment & fun to use.......2005-10-15

I purchased this 12" Powerbook 5 months ago. It wasn't the most recent model at the time, but it suited my needs. It still draws alot of attention whenever I use it in public. It is light weight and durable. To this day, no crashes. Airport Extreme works flawlessy where other wireless cards fail. Battery length is reasonable at a realistic 4 hours (A DVD movie is power intensive). No dead pixels -screen is still in great condition. I easily self installed additional ram, beefing it up to 768mb from the factory 256mb according to numerous reviews stating the factory installed memory was insufficient. The operating temperature of the laptop doesn't get excessively hot like other laptops. I spend more time on my powerbook now than i do reading books or watching TV.

Downside: Aluminum casing scratches easily. Poor audio capabilities (but then, invest in headphones!). USB ports on the left is incovenient for right-hand corded mouse users. It is also necssary to upgrade this from Panther to Tiger ($10 from Apple). Factory installed 256mb needs to be beefed up at least 512mb i you ant to avoid seeing the spinning ball of death.

Accessories to invest in: iSkin keyboard protector, a screen protector, and a good laptop sleeve (Booq is very reliable and sturdy). Don't waste your time purchasing a full size computer backpack or bag for this - it's overkill.

I'm taking a gamble purchasing this without applecare. Thanks to the forums and review sites like this, so far, so good. I highly recommend this product to any business person or student jumping into the Mac world for the first time.

Apple Still Cant Get It Right.......2005-09-01

I had a iBook 800mhz that the logicboard died and I could not get it fixed for free even though Apple said later there iBooks had this flaw and would only fix certain ones that had the correct serial numbers. I gave them another chance with the 12inch 1.33ghz laptop worked nice for awhile but now one whole column on the left side of the lcd screen is screwed up. It shows in that row a higher contrast so it looks funky. I baby my laptop also just for poeple to know that so this looks like a factory problem again. I have learned Apple laptops are nice but they may only last a year. You can risk on this one but I would stay away if you dont have the cash.

The best thing ever.......2004-12-24

Ten years ago I had a Mac. Then I went to law school and discovered that I lived in a world dominated by Bill Gates's Microsoft. So I became a PC user. I spent this year in Iraq and I had a Compaq laptop with me that served me well. Then I saw the specs on the 12 inch G4 PowerBook with superdrive. It is all that people say and more. The keyboard is roomy and comfortable (hard to believe given the small size) and the iLife bundled software enabled me to take my hundreds of digital photos and MPEG clips and create a movie after just a few hours of work.

And for those who complain about the heat produced by the PowerBook, not true. The laptop, like all computers, gets a little warm, but at worse the heat is slightly uncomfortable.

The WiFi ability has me cruising the net wirelessly and easily. Simply put, this PowerBook has re-inventing computers for me.

As a lawyer and a soldier I primarily use MS Office. I bought Office for Mac and the stuff I produce at work runs seamlessly on my PowerBook, and the stuff I produce on my PowerBook runs seamlessly on my PC at work.

I flew from Kuwait to Germany to Newark this past week and the light weight of the PowerBook made it an instant hit with me.

This thing ranks up there with sliced bread and the TV remote control.

A little more room on the hard drive is all I would ask for, but, with my SuperDrive, I can save large files quickly.

Once you go mac you never go back.......2004-11-30

I was really in the market for a small lightwieght PC notebook. But as the only ones I could find below 2000$ did not match my basic needs (good grafics, linux compatible) and I could not afford the top of the line 3500$ notebooks. I decided to settle for a 12" powerbook.

Since I was visiting the US at the time of purchase I thought I would buy it from the Apple store and meet with my future companion first hand. At first I was rather mesmorised by how sexy it was... But I thought that was just puppylove and that it would wear off after a while. So I scrutinsed the screen, the ports, the graphics and the drives. As the only other candidate that still would stand a chance agianst the 12" PB specs was a slightly more expensive and physically larger Dell that I had never seen apart from a wonkey picture on thier website. I took the plunge.

I invested my meager student allowance into the beast.

At first I thought I would replace the OS with linux and that I would have alot of problems with a win2000 only GIS software that I have to use for school. But, now, 6 months down the line this amazing machine is still as sexy as ever. It runs my wonkey GIS software (requires almost 3 reboots during installation) through virtual PC much faster than my old PII400. And I have yet to get around to putting linux on it as OSX just keeps blowing my mind. Everytime I want to do something, someone has already thought of that and implemented it as default in the OS.

The only problem I have had is, after a month the computer failed to recognise the builtin bluetooth, even after re-installing OSX the problem persisted and none of the packaged diagnostic software could detect any probs. After a week without bluetooth I decided to go down to the local apple store and have them sort it out. But just as I picked up the PB of my desk my mobile connected to it. And as strange as it seems I have had no problems with bluetooth since, despite rigorouse testing.

Overall this laptop gives the impression of being EXTREMLY well built. And I have yet to encounter any other laptop of this build quality (having worked for advertising firms where a 7000$ was the standard for running powerpoint presentations, with the justification that -we have to show our power through our superior laptops), this is in fact quiete a acheivment for any laptop, especially a sub 2000$ one. The bluetooth failure had me worried for a while but the overall build of the laptop keeps screaming well built and as such I dont think about that problem anymore. I just keep throwing it into my bag, taking it with me to classes and seminars, guiding it throught the worst student town weather/storms without complaints.

And to all you peze lovers out there, my beast comes to life in under 2s. I just open the lid and it wakes up offering to perform the most complex mathamatical functions. I havent had a virus since I got it. And the battery last for 5 hours without any hickups. I dont think you can beat this with any PC. If you dont think any of this is REALLY important, as I did before i went mac. I mean its not REALLY that important... But to tell you the truth, it is... Just try it, and you will find you probably can not live without it.

To summerise my 12" PB has suprised my in ways i did not expect it to, and has by far surpassed my expectations so far. And although i, out of principle, never award anything the top mark, I am happy to award something that keeps surprising me a 5/5.

Good machine. More software for MAC OS X will help.......2004-09-21

Good machine. I love the way it looks, works and handles things. Macs can do things so nicely that PCs can only aspire. But it does just [this] many things.

Windows based software may be poor and unstable, but they sure can do many (read aloud - many) more things, and sure are cheap. PC software is available in such abundance that there are always at least some options out there to meet your needs. Not as neat as its MAC counterpart, if there is any. Yeah, I said, if there is any.

Do more things = meet more needs. Hey you, guys at Apple! Get more people to make more software to meet more needs. Software domain for MAC OS X have a lot of catch up with. Wake up Mr. Rabbit!

Wannbe converts: MAC is a different animal. It might not replace your PC altogether. Not yet. Be careful.

Product Features:

15-channel two-way radio--8 GMRS and 7 FRS

121 total subcodes: 83 digital (DCS) and 38 CTCSS

Range of up to 5 miles for GMRS, 2 miles for FRS

Drop-in desktop rapid charger included

Use of GMRS frequencies requires an FCC license

ASIN: B00005NA01

Amazon.com Product Description

Combining the power of General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) with the convenience of Family Radio Service (FRS), the Midland G-15 two-way radio offers powerful, easy communication with family and friends.

The Midland G-15 UHF/FM two-way radio features a total of 15 GMRS/FRS channels with up to a five-mile line-of-site range with GMRS channels. The clear, backlit LCD display offers easy reading in low-light conditions. The G-15 radio also features a removable, flexible antenna, key lock to prevent accidental channel changes, and vibrating call alert.

The hands-free VOX feature has six levels of sensitivity, enabling you to set how loud you need to talk to activate the VOX circuit. By activating the VOX you only have to talk into the front of the radio or use an optional headset to make the radio transmit.

The Midland G-15 incorporates 38 CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) codes and 83 DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) codes that, when activated, prevent you from hearing other radios that aren't communicating on the same subcode. These codes do not make your conversation private. If you are using the G-15 where interference from other radios or electrical devices are present, enabling the CTCSS or DCS codes will usually mute the interference.

The G-15 is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery and comes with a drop-in desktop charger.

Important note to customers: All two-way radios that use GMRS frequencies require an FCC license. For licensing information and applications (form Nos. 605 and 159), call the FCC forms hotline at (800) 418-FORM or check online at www.fcc.gov. For questions concerning the license application, contact the FCC at (800) CALL-FCC (225-5322).

Batteries.......2004-03-20

The GMRS midland radio is great and the radiohas nice features and good rangebut this radio has bad bad battery life. I bought this radio and still have it but i had to go out and buy new rechargable batteries. i found that this radio workes the best in the feild with regular AA batteries. i have used other radios because i own a radio repair and rental company i use these radios in the shop. they are great.

please tell me why ?.......2002-01-10

if this walkie talkie is so good and the price is just to low to show then why there is no description of the walkie talkie...i mean does it go 5 miles....? can i hook up ear phones to it for free hand ablities ? do it have privacy channels ? how many channels does it have ?
why none of that stuff is shown....?
Are they trying to sell the walkie talkie ?

No range.......2001-12-23

I bought and returned these radios. They had little range in my comparison tests w/ Motorolas and Audiovox 1535 (which I settled on). Although compact, good voice quality, and decent features, I did not get acceptable range.

Amazon.com Product Description

NXG Technology's NX-PRO6B indoor/outdoor speakers are designed for durability, versatility, ease of use, and quality sound. You can mount them from the eaves or in a partially covered deck or patio using the supplied mounting brackets or position them indoors on a shelf or on individual stands (not included).

The speakers come with powder-coated ratcheting aluminum brackets for mounting in a locale of your choice, and the also feature rear-panel brass inserts that accept optional universal mounting hardware--especially convenient if you have existing mounts.

Despite their small size (8 x 12.9 x 7.3 inches each, W x H x D), the NX-PRO6Bs each feature a 6-inch injection-molded polymer cone with a durable rubber surround and 1-inch ultra-wide-dispersion titanium-laminate dome tweeter. Their ported enclosures enhance bass output for surprisingly full-bodied sound (55 to 20,000 Hz).

The 8-ohm speakers' sensitivity is rated at 90 dB (1 watt @ 1 meter), which means they're easily driven; NXG recommends use with integrated amplifiers or surround receivers up to 125 watts (maximum) per channel. The speakers' binding-post speaker terminals simplify hookups and ensure high-fidelity sound.
