Jobs is begging the patience of the audience. The new PowerBook is being
rolled out. "We have the most powerful portable in the world, but they have
the sex. We want the sex." This is a totally new PB. It has a 500 Mhz G4,
15.2" mega wide screen, built-in DVD, five hour battery life, Airport ready.
"But what about the sex?" The new PB is 1" thick, 5.3 pounds, and is
titanium. Titanium is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. "We
think we have the power and the sex."
The PB looks silverish with the white logo. The screen half looks a little
darker regarding the plastics, the screen is thinner than his finger. It is
remarkably beautiful, I covet one already. The DVD player is slot-load,
which is nice. The logo is also in the right direction, now
Now he is showing the new TV ad for the PB. It has Jeff Goldblum's voice and
talks about the size, screen, titanium, and processor. It is a very nice ad,
very smooth, Volkswagen-ish. "When you move your cursor to the edge you
worry it will fly off." He also said the keyboard is awesome, the best one
they've ever shipped. It has VGA, IRDA, FireWire, USB, etc. The airport
range is great with dual anntenae. There are two models, G4, 1MB L2, Rage128
8MB, 2 usb, one firewire port, the low end 400 MHz has 128 MB and a 10 gig
drive, the 500 has 256 MB and 20 GB. The Low end is $2700 the high end is
$3500. It is Mac OS X certified.
