Went to the Apple store today to see if they had any deals on refurbished Titanium powerbooks to replace my much missed 667 Rev. B and I happened to look at the new 15" for a while and all I can say is WOW! By comparison, the TiBook suddenly seemed a little dated - a perception that I did definitely not expect. So now I'm real close to buying a new 1.25 Al book. My question is - I noticed that the leading edge of the area where you rest your wrists has a sharper corner that the slightly rounded edge in the TiBook - does this cause any discomfort when using the Al Book at your desk? Has anyone heard of any complaints?

I have a 17" and noticed the edge on the 17 as compared to my old Ti. No discomfort though in over 6 months of use

I have a new 17 inch and a new 15 inch. Typing on them is just fine. Actually, I should say that most of the time, at the office, I use an external keyboard and mouse but on the occasions when I travel and use only an external mouse and use the PB's keyboard, I havn't had any problems. The usage period is shorter, understandably.
