Apple's latest laptop, the superwide PowerBook 17, should be considered more of a portable desktop machine than a true laptop computer -- unless you have a large lap.

For day-to-day travel on planes, trains and automobiles, the PowerBook 12 is the better option. If you want no compromise desktop performance in a package you can still take with you if you must, the 17-in. model will put a smile on your face. (Computerworld via MyAppleMenu)

Becky Waring writes for USA Today, “If you’re looking for a new Mac laptop, the 15-inch PowerBook G4 hits the sweet spot in trading off features for size and weight. It’s a true desktop replacement machine with every possible expansion port that weighs less than six pounds.” [Jul 7]

Macworld review: 15-inch PowerBook G4s

Macworld review: 15-inch PowerBook G4s 10/29/2003 03:24 AM
Eight months after Apple announced its smallest and largest PowerBook G4s -- the 12-inch and 17-inch PowerBook G4s, in aluminum, not Titanium -- Apple released the laptop many professional Mac users had been waiting for -- the aluminum 15-inch PowerBook G4. With its slick performance, bright screen, and support for USB 2.0, FireWire 800, AirPort Extreme, and Bluetooth, this laptop was worth the wait. But people who've received PowerBooks with loose latches or video problems may wish that Apple had taken a bit more time to iron out kinks.

Powerbook: 1, God: 0 08/30/2004 08:08 AM

It's a sad fact of life that God hates Mac users. If you needed any more proof, check out these pictures of this burnt and charred 12-inch Powerbook, caught in an apartment fire, which despite the damage and encrustations is reported to still work. What can we learn from this? In a kickboxing match between Jesus and Jobs, Steve would win. I know it's shocking, but if there's one thing I've learned from Internet, it's that digital pictures cannot lie. They don't even have tongues! (Thanks, Marcus!)

P-P-P-Powerbook

P-P-P-Powerbook 05/13/2004 10:46 PM
An American Ebay seller realises a European bidder is trying to scam him out of a Powerbook (fake escrow site, hijacked ebay account), so he sends him something far better, a P-P-P-Powerbook! Now, for you non-techies here, a factory model p-p-p-powerbook weights half what it's competitors weigh, comes with an A4 screen, the latest in internet adventure software, zero boot time, a fullsize keyboard (often with Key Redundancy^TM) and a state-of-the-art laser bluetooth mouse. This is technology. The seller posts to a forum and amongst the chatter people follow the package via the the Fedex tracking page and some even visit the delivery address (a barbershop/internet cafe) and take photos, video, and a seat for their hair cut. The duty tax on this particular p-p-p-powerbook is around £350 (paid for by the scammer) before he sees the package, and a few days later it's released by Customs as they watch in anticipation. A forum member arrives at the internet cafe, takes a seat and soon the package arrives. The scammer opens the box and there are angry raised voices heard. The barber doesn't understand what's wrong and asks... "Is it broken?"

VertiGo and Cablebuddy Review 04/06/2005 02:46 PM
Waterfield Bags launched a SleeveCase designed specifically for the Mac Mini within weeks of the official Apple announcement. In its default configuration as I received it, the SleeveCase is merely what it claims to be, a case into which a Mac Mini will fit. However, Waterfield offers a configuration with a detachable shoulder strap. (read the review) This makes it very comparable to the eM2 bag we reviewed a few weeks ago...

My new Powerbook was shipped way earlier than I expected and I now find myself routinely checking its progress across the world every two or three hours.

When we finally meet, it will be as two explorers who have explored the world - weary and ready to settle down...

PowerBook G5!? Unlikely to Appear in
the Near Future 02/05/2005 09:07 PM
CNET has posted an article highlighting various logical reasons for why the PowerBook G5 is still a pipe dream.
"...a G5 PowerBook would require compromises in size, weight and other aesthetics such as noise production. Apple, and likely most of its customers, wouldn't be willing to live with that."

Sorry guys, you'll just have to wait another year, or by an iMac G5 and an iLugger.
