The new ibook is a great machine - but it is NO subnotebook. It is small enough for me, heck, the Ti is really small enough - but the size of what I see as a sub-notebook has decreased since the 2400. If they had kept the margin of the screen as tight as the Ti, and decreased the footprint to match, and along with it matched the Ti for thickness - then I could think of it as a sub-notebook. I would'nt even object to the 2400's 10.1 screen if they got the margin down to work with the 2400 size keyboard. I'd pass on the optical drive for that tiny machine, its only a firewire cable away. -- Gregory La Vardera Gregory La Vardera Architect www.lamidesign.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 856 662 4909 -- Gregory La Vardera Gregory La Vardera Architect www.lamidesign.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 856 662 4909 ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
