The Sony display is thicker, which in turn, means a brighter bulb for a backlight. Apple needs to fire correctly on all cylinders here, and don't think for a moment that they aren't trying. A ton of R&D goes into these things. Laptops with the features we want are not easy to engineer. I believe we are close. I think that PowerBook G5s are indeed done, but Apple is waiting for the appropriate amount of a specific version of the IBM 970 chip to launch. I think this accounts for the mixup in the 17" PowerBook's literature. I'm more convinced than ever that the latest round of speed-bumped PowerBook G4s are stop-gaps to WWDC.
