The bigger screen is nice, but I'm not willing to lug around 8.4 pounds of garbage with me. The TiBook's classier. The Pentium 4-M won't run at its full clock speed without being …

I don't even see how adding an excessively large screen and an overheating processor is raising the bar, either. The Pentium III-M is faster than the Pentium 4-M.

The sad part is that it has an antiquated graphics chipset. They should at least include 64 megabytes of RAM in a notebook that size.

It's too big, and too heavy... that said, it still has a 1.7GHz chip, 400MHz bus, 512 Mb DDR RAM, and 1600 x 1200 screen resolution. Those are impressive specs by themselves, too …

They won't be faster than the Pentium 4. I've basically given up hope that a Mac will be comparable in performance to a Wintel. However, it will enable the PowerBook to be the mos…

I don't consider the Vaio even worthy of being considered competition. Apple should ingnore the Vaio and just stay on its plan to produce the next gen PB that will undoubtedly be …

For the life of me, I don't really understand why so many people care about graphic chipsets? Does everybody play 3D shooters at the highest setting all the time, especially on a …

Powerbook still very competitive in the market. If you try to segment the market. If you can find any PC that can beat 1" thick. 3-5 hours of battery life, 15" screen, combo drive,…

Man, those things are huge. Why does the Sony laptop with the 15" screen weigh more than the 16"? As for graphics chipset - I don't see anything wrong with 16MB of VRAM on the P…

Glad to see that we all seem to agree that the Sony is just no competition for the Ti but we must remember that the Ti was born out of Apple feeling particularly threatened by the …

While I'm sure there is a market for this lapcrusher, I wonder what is the big deal with having such high resolutions on a relatively small display. Yeah, 16" is big for a laptop..…

It's been a long time since I've posted here, but these new P4 machines are definitely piquing my interest. After temporarily owning both a Ti400 and Ti667, I am again in the mark…

Hello Everyone, Being the new (newbie) guy here but learning so much everyday from my fellow Mac lovers such as yourself (thanks for guiding me along guys.) I feel that this post …

i want one. why ? 16.1" @ 1600*1400

Sony Vaio = Kia Sportage Apple PowerBook = Land Rover We have a few Sony's here where I work. All crap. Nothing but problems with motherboards and the flimsy, cheap plastic they …

there is one thing to remember. the vaio doesn't run os x.

I don't care if the Vaio has a bigger screen... my 14.1" Pismo is fine... I'm not a graphics designer, and if I was... I'd get a desktop mac with a Cinema Display... I don't care…
