- I have had a PowerBook 170 for almost a year(since November).
- No problems so far (3 dead pixels - you don't notice that in everyday use).
- I use it as my main machine in the evenings, unplug it every morning and
- take it to my job. I carry it everywhere, use it on planes and hotelrooms.
-
- Don't worry - just get one!
