You're making my point: "most laptops still come with 5400...but the top of the line is 7200rpm".

Well, the iBooks are 4200rpm (and so were the PowerBooks, until January of this year!). And you can't even upgrade to a 7200rpm drive for a PowerBook, no matter what (well, perhaps come tomorrow... )

For Apple's $2200-2600 king daddy laptops, no less...



The iBooks should be 5400rpm, period. And the PowerBooks should offer (if not installed stock) a 7200rpm BTO option.

It IS their pro laptop, after all...video, music, high performance, etc.

Little things like that...they kinda bug me, just because.
