This may seem to be an odd question...
why are there currently offered both Powerbooks and iBooks?
Marketing reasons?
Over the yearss Macintosh branded laptops have taken many different forms; so was wondering if there was any logic (oh I know these days that may an unlikely thing) to the idea of having two names for laptops...
In my owncase it was an iBook, less money,
maybe I bought the Plymouth (which was always marketed as a lower priced vheicle) than the Dodge (which was always marketed in past days as a higher class/cost of vehicle)?
Basically, there are two "markets" for computers: Business/Professional and Home/Consumer.
Apple targets the first one with the "PowerMac" and "PowerBook" lines and the second with the "iMac" and "iBook" lines. So your automobile analogy is correct.
