After the Dust Settles - The PB G4's Shortcomings

I agree that this criticism wasn't weel thought out. The final nail in the coffin is the size complaint. While the G4 is, in fact, wider than pismo, it is narrower than the ibook, andd when open, shorter than either G3 book by a good inch. If you've used a powerbook or ibook in coach you know that the problem isn't width, but height. With the seat in front of you reclind, it is impossible to completely open an apple laptop.
the PB g4 fixes this problem, making it the first modern apple laptop that will be usable in coach. And that is why I bought on to replace my old powerbook... It's all about portability.
