[QUOTE="technologist, post: 35423, member: 4134"] It's not clear from your comparison above, but both the 12" PowerBook and all the iBooks have the ports on the left side. Really, try it before you complain...It's almost always more convenient than having them on the back. Your average mouse has a really long cord anyway (Long enough, usually, to reach from the top of someones desk, around the back, to a tower sitting on the floor, just in case someone wanted to use it that way.) My $20 two-button-optical-scroll Logitech has something like six feet of cable attached, so I end up having to coil it up with a twist tie. Regarding heat...I have a "Rev A" 12" PowerBook. It does get uncomfortably hot. Note, however, that the heat is dissipated through the BOTTOM only...if it's sitting on a desk/table/any other surface, you don't notice the heat. Only when it's in your lap. [/QUOTE]
