I think if Apple would adopt an extremely sturdy and "wiggle-free" LCD lid like the newer ThinkPad T4x series features, the PowerBooks would be unmatched...

All these requests for the organic forms of the Pismo and Lombard may well come true. If there's going to be a G5 laptop within the next year, I'll eat my shirt if it's smaller than the current crop of laptops. If Apple can't make the laptop as small as the current Powerbooks, they should go with a bigger and more organic approach.

I *STILL* say that about the toilet seat iBooks. Ugh. Though, the graphite and indigo units don't look too bad.
