Yes. The jolly, candy-like UPSIDE DOWN Apple. They fixed it on the Pismo, right? Actually I thought they fixed it on the Lombard but apparently not so. It was the choice, I think, of the Apple being upside down when you close the lid of the laptop and display it closed, or the choice of the Apple being upside down when you have it open and working. I wonder if you can replace just the top plastic of the case with a replacement from a Pismo? It bugs me a little, too. > > 17" AlBooks are up there on the "shock and awe" scale, but then again, > you can buy quite a few Pismos for what one of those costs.

The iBook doesn't, either in its iToiletSeat or IceBook incarnations, because it's just...so...FRIENDLY looking. Pristine white. It might as well have "Don't Panic" writen on it, in large, friendly letters. I mean, they're great. Don't get me wrong. However, you cannot go wrong with Darth Vader Stealth Black. There is something about it that screams 'leet.
