How come the highest-level PowerBook is labeled as Cutsom-Built? Aside from increased RAM and HD it's no different from the other two.

Maybe that link won't work. Go to <a href="http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore" target="_blank">http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore</a> and click on the PowerBook.

Maybe because it is custom built? i.e. Apple doesn't stock this machine pre-built, they will build it per order.

Since it's only availible from Apple and it's a BTO they call it Custom Built.

Because you can custom build that exact same configuration for the exact same price. Just select the "Faster" option, put in a gig of ram and a 48 gig HD and you get the "Fastest." They are just showing a custom option.
