I know these pics are pretty old, but they'd make a damn fine model for the intel based Powerbooks, especially with the built in iSite he's thrown in there.
I could do without the pen/touchscreen thing he's got going on, and i like the idea of built in memorystick/SD card slots. The design is pretty sweet and retains that powerbook pro look and feel, and if were really in lala land, throw in one of those OLED keyboards everyones on about, too cool 
Pretty amazing how close he was to the latest iMac revision when you look at the rest of his site (the hiMac concept), he's got some skillz this cat!

hmmm...I don't know. At first glance, I'm not feelin it. the whole gap at the bottom of the screen just doesn't seem right. while a tablet would be awesome, I'm not sure how it would integrate in a regular powerbook.
time will tell...

i think it would be sweet to carry the thing around by the handle bit at the bottom, like one of those old japanese sony vaios.
touch screes are pretty poor and i doubt that i'd use it at all if it were implemented.

website is www.applele.com , heaps of other cool concepts on there, but i just looooove this one 
i think the sharp corners give it a certain, mmmmm, yeah coldness is probably the right word, like its so cool it hurts very futuristic and out there, and being sony like isnt that bad a thing. it could look like nintendo made it, that would be a shocker!
