Yup....weight is important.  1.5 pounds is quite a difference.  Feel
the pain in that shoulder when you've been carrying it round all day...

Bluetooth is standard on the TiBooks and Wireless is standard on some
models, optional on the others. You need more than a Gig of RAM?

Point of note: you can put a 2 or 3 button mouse on a mac if you like.
The support is built in, just Apple still like to issue expensive one
button 'light-up' mice, which die with alarming regularity.
Personally I have a Logitech 2 button and scroll which worked out of
the box no need for extra drivers.  I think you need the drivers for a
3 button mouse, say to use with Maya, but your bog standard USB 2
button plus scroll works a treat.

A lot of people have reported problems runing DVD full screen on, I
think, the 12" TiBook, others say there's no problems.  Alas, I don't
have one to confirm either way :(

I've always been fond of Sony products myself, but I like OSX and
loathe Windows (all incarnations).  And I guess it's my job so I ought
to run OSX! :)  Now if Sony were allowed to make a mac clone...
