I have an iBook G4 (newest), Powerbook G4 12" Rev A, an iMac G4, and an 
iMac G5 in my house.  I also have a Thinkpad X40 from work.

The Powerbook G4 12" is the worst reception wise.  Not sure if it is 
the design of the antennae, the metal, the phase of the moon or what 
but where I get 3 - 4 bars (almost max) with the others I get 1 - 2 
bars with the PowerBook.

But I still get signal anywhere in my place.  of course it could be 
because I have two AEBS and two AXs scatter around the place.  But I've 
never had a problem with reception.
