The screens are different sizes so shouldn't the price be a little less for the 12".
Please don't make fun of me if this sounds stupid to you. |

AppleCare covers any repairs, not just the screen. Most repairs to the 12" will require twice the labor as the same repair to the 17" due to the smaller size. Only for a screen replacement would the 17" cost significantly more, and on the average, the repair cost is probably about the same.

my iSight (the plastic attatchment)popped up of my PB screen, and the iSight hit against my screen, and scratched the screen horribly. Its like it pinched the screen in the spot where it hit, and I can see and feel the scratch. I took it to the apple store to show the guy, figuring it would be covered by applcare, and he said it was "accidental damage" or something similar, and there was nothing they could do, except order me a new screen, which is around 900.00. I'm so pissed off about it. I have no idea how long my screen is going to last like this, I keep thinking one day that the screen is going to ooze out or something, and ruin my computer. So be careful people who use iSights attatched to your PB screen!!!

AppleCare only covers defects, it doesn't cover operator error. You want to get Safeware insurance for that. Covers what happened to your screen, theft, fire, liquid spillage etc., basically everything but manufacturer's defects. |

This is why people also buy insurance for their expensive notebooks. Sometimes you can even list it under your homeowner's policy. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

The PowerBook mount is (obviously) not. It can pop off if you don't seat it firmly, or if you knock it. Also, the clamp hits the screen directly unless you mount it on the left or right edge (like I do). If you smack the iSight, the clamp could bite into the screen. Just mount it to the side, ratchet it down a notch to tighten it, and don't hit it... it's not going to just fall off then. This wouldn't ever be an issue with a CD mount. (I have experience with both.) Don't worry about it. |
