Unibody: Built like a tank.

My 17" powerBook from 2003 seems flimsy by comparison, as if it's fragile, to be handled with too much care.
 
I have not owned either, but I was really impressed with the aesthetics of the unibody Macbooks and MBPs.
 
Ah yes!! I for one also felt that with the old one, it seemed that pushing the power button would make magic happen!! Sigh...

Yeah, the new power buttons are quite strange, I think. I'm not sure if I like how they're tucked right into the corner, but I guess it helps prevent people from pressing it followed quickly by Enter... 😛
Quite possibly the most annoying thing my Windows friends have done in the past.
