New PowerBooks!

Being an Apple PowerBook user and fan, I usually notice right away when this stuff comes out or gets updated. Apple just released a new PowerBook lineup. The processors have been boosted to 1.5 and 1.67 GHz G4s (no G5 yet :( ) and the keyboard backlighting in the 15- and 17-inch models has been updated to provide brighter keys. The BlueTooth modules are now BlueTooth 2.0, which is 3x as fast as the previous standard. They now include 8x DVD+/-R, RW Superdrives which burn CDs at 24x and DVDs at 8x, much faster than the previous 'Books. All in all, a great set of upgrades, though not as good as the G5s everyone has been looking forward to.
