The change in screen aspect is a bit of an annoyance...I love the 3:2 aspect of the current 15" G4...though at least it went wider than shorter. Adding a web-cam is a novel idea, but the added bezel caused by this is ugly and annoying to me...so it's not really worth it in my opinion.

On the plus side...it's got a heck of a graphics card built in via PCI-Express...that's nice. From the tests I've seen (not Mac) of the new processor, it's fast...very fast. That's always a good thing. Being thinner is also a nice thing IMO. The power-adapter is a great idea...long overdue.


After thinking about it for a while, I'm glad I bought my 15" PB before I had to make a decision on buying a PowerBook or MacBook Pro. I'm at 36 days now, so luckily I'm stuck with the PB (probably for the best).

Does make you wonder what they'll do with the iBook...probably single core versions, but will they be at the same frequency or lower...something to ponder.

yeppers, on that. I can't even type let alone muti-task beyond a hoot. my ibook suits me just fine, thank you
