    New 15" Al Powerbook

    wooohoooo

    The 15-inch PowerBook's G4 is available at 1.25GHz, with a maximum 2GB
    333MHz DDR RAM. The new mid-range portable features a DVD-R SuperDrive,
    and is available today.

    Like the 17-inch PowerBook it features an auto-sensing llighted
    keyboard, FireWire 800 and 400, USB 2.0, Bluetooth, and 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet networking.

    Hopefully I'll pick one up next week in LA

    It's quite a lot thicker (like 2mm) than before though. anyone know why? Can't say I like it as much as the old titanium. Would definately go for the 12", especially with DVI. The 12" and an Apple 20" display would be my dream combo.

    alu is way better than titanium which from memory was harly mak resistant.

    thickness increase is prob due to the backlit keyboard? and all the other stuff theyve thrown in

    still im after a 12 inch, but am waiting for panther
