quiet, since I think to know that you own an older Powerbook G4, you can certainly answer this one for me:

How durable is the titanium body of the powerbook? I mean it's titan and all, but one inch thickness still seems a little easy to break for me...


edit: typos
i'm typing on one right now

i have seen no issues with the body at all. solid as a rock (and i travel with it all the time). apparently some of the first ones had some issues with the hinges on the display, but i've seen no such problems.

the only thing is the titanium body has a tendency to set off the bomb sensors at airports. i remember reading about jfk being shut down for 8 hours due to a titanium powerbook. hasn't happened to me yet though
