As some of you know I recently bought a Powerbook. It came today.
Its actually a better Powerbook than what I ordered. What happened was I ordered it from MacMall because I could get it cheaper from them than Apple even with Apple's educational discount (because of tax). When I ordered it I was told it was in stock. 5 days later I find out it wasn't actually in stock, and was "backordered". As it turns out Apple discontinued the one I wanted to buy and MacMall had just sold the last one they had in stock just before I bought mine (close enough that it still showed in stock to them). So I ended up getting the faster processor, and the superdrive. I ordered it with a 1.5 G4 and a $40 upgrade (with rebate) to 1.5 gigs of ram and the combo drive. I got a 1.67 G4 with the superdrive and still got to keep the 1.5 gigs of ram.
Edit: Oh also its supposed to have a screen that will do a higher resolution. I haven't played around on it long enough to know for sure, plus I don't know much on how these things work, I haven't used a Mac since MacOS 8.5
