Check out page 106...there's no traditional heatsink, just a heat pipe running across all 3 chips. Normally there's a small heatsink with a pipe that runs to a radiator...I'm impressed.

I think the iBook fits that comment better, all other Aluminum PowerBooks except the 12" use the heatpipe with little flat areas for the chips.

The service manual states the MBP has a 1440 x 960 resolution. Seems to be a typo, but that would be cool.

Thanks too-I always enjoy reading the Apple service manuals, along with Sony's (which provide a revision history-Apple should do that too).

It also states that the AC adaptor is the only part from the powerbook that is compatible with MBP....so I think this might be an early revision.
