| 12" PowerBook G4 in fact is a 12" iBook G4??? Well, from the spec... No PCMCIA, No ADC, Not 1-inch think... The 12" PowerBook G4 in fact is a 12" iBook G4...

| From what I've heard, the G3 is alive and well, and will continue to be in the iBooks for a while. I'll have to admit though, that the 12" PB looks ALOT like my new iBook! |

| It's limited to 640MB ram, so that may be the strongest clue. It's also the only powerbook with a side loading drive (albeit slot loading, not a drawer) Both of the new powerbooks seem to have benefited from the ibook hinge design. The graphics output is definitely different. Can't get a 64MB graphics card on it. just some thoughts. cheers, |

| Finally a PowerBook in my price range. Perhaps next summer I'll have one of those, or maybe the next revision. Really, really great! It's also a good size, and supports an extended desktop without nasty hacks

| I hope the 15" model will get updated soon as well as 17" features... So I will instantly fall in love with it... Or 12" model includes all features of the 17"... like backlit keyboard and Fireware 800 and PC card slot...

| If you look at the 12" PowerBook, its style is very similar to the 12" iBook. I would say most of its design cues are taken from the 12" iBook. I imagine the 12" and 14" iBooks will be eliminated at some point and replaced by a single 13" iBook. I forsee a lot of confusion existing between the 12" iBook and 12" PowerBook G4. |
