I just recently bought a new Aluminum PowerBook G4. This is the most recent model with 1 GHz speed. The screen is 15" with a combo drive. I looked at both the iBook and PB screens and can tell there is a significant difference. So is the price. Let's face it, you have to pay for quality.
The thing that concerns me is the "thiness" of the screen. It is very thin and flexible. I am worried that this flexibility can cause the screen to bend and crack. With all the discussion about the "white spots" I have to say that this PB does not seem as "portable". I was using a PB Wallstreet and it was seemingly more rugged. I was not that too concerned about the give in the plastic case. I am with the new Aluminum PB. The rest of the PB is fantastic. The keyboard is fantastic and large. Good feel and responsive. The screen is bright and clear. It is so much better than a WallStreet. The speed is "wow". This PB definitely has a large awe factor. I am curious if anyone could pass on what they are using to transport and store their Al PB in as they travel.
