Croquet is unusable although other non-Squeak 3D apps are fine. I have
been using this laptop for 3 years with no problems. The widescreen
aspect ratio is a pain to deal with when outputting through a projector
but there were plenty of sample configs and eventually I got it to
work. Battery life is approx 1.5 hours under constant use. Speedstep
helps extend that. I don't have suspend to disk or RAM working (this
alone really makes the Mac attractive to me, BTW).
