Individually, none of the changes in the latest round of PowerBook updates will knock your socks off. But collectively, they make the PowerBook lineup both more appealing and more affordable.
Pros: Compact size; increased standard memory; improved trackpad and Bluetooth; reduced price.
Cons: Small screen; lacks high-end ports and features; only one DIMM slot; heavier than comparable Windows laptops.
