After a painful money transfering and shipment waiting, I finally took my new 15.2" PowerBook G4 today...

I know that they are about to release, but I had a friend coming back to Turkey from US, so that was my only chance to get this babe near to 45% cheaper than Turkey's prices with edu. disc, lower taxes, IMC premium and etc..

I had a 12"PB Rev A, and I thought it would be kind a weird to handle a machine this big, but after all I loved it more than I expected.

I wanted to share with you guys.. and.. I wanna ask something, what Revision is my PB???

The revision letters go by each model (12", 15", and 17" powerbooks are all seperate models). The Aluminum powerbook revision go a little somethin' like this:

Rev. A 12" PB's have an 867 MHz Processor
Rev A. 17" PB's have a 1 Ghz Processor
15" PB's still Ti

Rev B 12" PB's have a 1 GHz Processor
Rev B 17" PB's have a 1.33 GHz Processor
Rev A 15" PB's have a 1.25 or 1.00 Ghz processor

Rev C 12" PB's have a 1.33 GHz Processor
Rev C 17" PB's have a 1.5 GHz processor
Rev B 15" PB's have a 1.33 or 1.5 GHz processor

Hope that clears it up for ya!
 
Here's how Mactracker has it:

rev. A 12" PB's have an 867 MHz Processor
rev. A 17" PB's have a 1 Ghz Processor
The 15" PB's were still titanium while the 12" and 17" were aluminum.

rev. B 12" PB's have a 1 GHz Processor
rev. B 17" PB's have a 1.33 GHz Processor
15" PB's have a 1.00 or 1.25 GHz processor
All PB's are now aluminum

rev. C 12" PB's have a 1.33 GHz Processor
rev. C 17" PB's have a 1.5 GHz processor
15" PB's have a 1.33 or 1.5 GHz processor

In my opinion the latest 15" PB's are rev. B
 
that's what I was getting at. when the rev a 12" and 17" albooks came out the 15" was still titanium.
