Could someone with both brain books in hand do a reasonable yet not overzealous torsion twist on the two models and give me a, well, stiffness report?

I think we all know who'll be rigidified, yeah?

Juz curious though...

Wait, you want someone to twist a pair of laptops to let you know which one is stiffer?

I would love to possibly destroy my machine so that you can gain empirical data on powerbook case torsion ratings.

I did this test on a store model (not about to do it to my brand new baby! The aluminum PB 15" is much sturdier than my Rev. A 500Ti.

The keyboard is much nicer as well.

So much for saying I was going to wait for a G5 PowerBook LOL!

I said that too, and then when the 15" Alubooks came out, I said "Well then. Purchased."

I see from your signature that we both have the same model!
