Actually new features and faster machines always get a price drop to attract customers. In year 2003 Rev A 17" Powerbook 1Ghz, 1x Superdrive, USB1.1 and 60Gb HD was $3299 U.S.
Now 2005 Rev D 17" Powerbook ships with 1.67Ghz 8x Superdrive USB 2.0 Bluetooth 2.0 100GB 5400RPM HD and 128MB GPU and it drives the 30" cinema display all for $2699.
