Point taken. The "Macintosh" name was dropped a while ago. Now they reintroduce its short form. Fine with me. I just feel that they could have come up with a better name for the Intel PowerBooks. Yes, I can't provide you with a better name right here right now but then again, I'm neither a branding specialist nor a marketing guy but just a plain old simple scientist that happens to care about branding and design (why do you think I use a Mac after all? Well that's not the only reason of course.).
I also want to find out how other people feel about it. I'm sure I'm not the only nostalgic nitpicker in here.
