Actually, I wish Apple would stick a 15" display in the Pismo-style case and put in a 1GHz G4. I'd sell my TiBook today and get one. That way you would have expandability for Zip drives, SuperDrives, multiple batteries, etc.
Got a tip for us?

How about favorite laptop designs...

I used a Zip 250 drive for a while, but not much anymore. It was good for small files when I didn't want to burn a CD for just a small amount of data. Too bad that you can't keep adding to a CD-R on the Mac like you can on a PC.
used a lot, owned a few...
Absolute favourite - clamshell iBook 12" 366Mhz iBookSE - still going strong today. If it was possible I would firstly upgrade this little portable to a G4 processor and secondly replace the screen and graphics chip for higher resolution. I just love the form factor - everyone still goes "wow" when you pull it out of your briefcase.
But... I love the TiBook and although I don't own one I have some hot money here waiting for when Apple update it to Al spec, then I'm buying.

Pismo
i'm just a little partial to the pismo
...however, when I purchase a 15" (or more!) powerbook, i'll probably like that design. I do like the dual batteries, expansion bay options and the sleek curves.

...however, when I purchase a 15" (or more!) powerbook, i'll probably like that design. I do like the dual batteries, expansion bay options and the sleek curves.I want a 10 inch screen that is 800*600 (small, yes) with a 733 Mhz G4 and 6 hour battery life (real battery life, not addvertised). Also, 2 1.8 inch HDs 40 GB a piece, in RAID config. Also, AirportX, onboard bluetooth, 2Mbits/sec. full duplex RJ-11 modem (for dry pair lines) AirportX base-station capabilities, splitting keyboard panel that leads to DVD drive (like two reverse gull wind doors, which would be sweet like a 10 Ghz 1 watt 128-bit processor), touch screen with telescopic sylus that fits over screen to cover the microphone (pro-quality), keyboard displayed from a tiny projector, ATI 9900 Pro Portable with Mini-ADC port, and the works. 1/2 inch thick.
