[QUOTE="chafner, post: 19890"] I treated myself to a new ibook G4 just before the holidays and the first day using it I had trackpad problems. Apple told me the new ibooks were ultra sensitive and i may not be using it correctly. I am sure that is not the case, as I was fine for hours and then i had problems. In the following 2 weeks, the problem became more frequent. The pointer would spastically jump around the screen uncontrollably, or it wouldn't move at all. Couldn't deal with it. I use the ibook for business and lost a lot of billable time trying to get the computer to perform. I got the retailer to take it back after Apple refused. They don't seem to think there could have been a problem w/the ibook. It had to be software, installed ram, peripherals, etc. But not the machine. I've been a mac user for 10 years, so it wasn't due to lack of experience. Are others experiencing problems with the new ibook G4. I would like to get another one, but don't know if it was a fluke I had problems or if it is an ongoing problem. Paying for Apple Care shouldn't be a necessity right out of the box. [/QUOTE]
