The latest improvements to the PowerBook line are hardly revolutionary, but they're all welcome. If you can afford it and don't mind its size, the 17-inch model remains the best portable computer money can buy.
Pros: Classic design; complete feature set; huge screen, now with higher resolution; huge hard drive.
Cons: No increase in performance; higher resolution may make on-screen objects too small for some users; large size can be a problem in some situations.
