MacCentral Reviews 17 inch Powerbook

Ken Mingis, of MacCentral, writes a
glowing review of the recently updated 17 inch Powerbook (also known as the
'Behemoth Book' by those in the know).

The illuminated keyboard on the new model is up to 10 times brighter than its  predecessor, which finally makes the feature a useful one. The other improvement that Ken digs is the 512 MB of RAM that ships standard across the Powerbook line. When will Apple incorporate this across the whole product line? Steve, I know you're reading this. Take it from your Uncle Scott, OS X likes RAM, don't be stingy.

Overall Ken thinks this is a solid rev, if not one that you should immediately run out and buy if you already own a fairly recent Powerbook. However, if you want to buy me one, I'm sure Ken would be onboard with that.
