15"

80 gig 5400 RPM HD
512 RAM

I got the faster HD because I am doing video editing. If you want more ram, I think it is cheaper to upgrade later.

I got this powerbook on panther night, no more than 5 days ago. It is simply amazing.

I thought that it was a defect that the space between the screen and base when closed was not parallel, so I took it in three days later.

there, I found that not only does every powerbook have this, many are worse than mine. Especially the display model. (not just slanted, but actually bowed) It was as if people had tried to open the book without opning the latch.

The "genius" also tested for white spots while I had it there. He told me that mine was really fast. I'm not sure what he ment by that. Aren't they all the same?

I love the shape of the screen as well. It makes it so much easier to look at two documents at the same time.

I have played 4 .mpeg movies at the same time with no problem (side by side, not hidden behind each other), while loading another one into imovie.

I don't think I'll ever buy a windows pc again.

LOL - I'm in corporate sales for telelcom at the moment and doing photography as a hobby. And no I didn't work for Apple

I am thinking about selling the PowerBook 17 though.
