The new 12 inch PowerBooks are very attractive. See apple.com for a fuller description of the new 12 inch PowerBook and its big brother, the 17 inch PowerBook.
The 12 inch PowerBook, I think, maxes out at a 867 MHz G4 (although it may be possible to a build your own with a higher speed processor). You can also specify the DVD-R SuperDrive. However, it will NOT have a PC card slot for what is the most convenient and flexible add-on. Although I'm a newcomer to this list, I hope it survives. You have been extraordinarily helpful -- not only with direct questions but also with a wealth of information in the various posts. It IS the friendliest place on the Internet. This is "A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables." and the new G4 PowerBooks certainly qualify.
