Hold an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper next to your Duo/2400, now make it an
inch and a quarter thick. That's how big the 12" is. Volumetrically "X"
x "Y" x "Z" it is smaller though.
there's a certain minimum size involved given that you want a 12" screen and
a keyboard (and a battery, and RAM, and a CPU, and...). The point, at least
for me, is that here's (finally!) a Powerbook that's very close to the Duo
form factor, that's got pretty much all the features of the high-end
machines. That really hasn't happened since the Duo/2400 era.
