when the Ti15" PB moves to the Ai15" PB will it get....
the fancy keyboard? FW800? Ports on the side??
and will we see a 12"Special Edition PB with the above features?? will they come with Rev B or Rev C or will they try and keep the fancy stuff on the 17" lapzilla only?

since i don't NEED a computer right now, i am TRYING to hold off buying till revision b of the 12" PB....maybe i can, maybe i can't...only time will tell....but if a Spec Editon of the 12" appeared shortly i would quickly lose the little will power i have....

<strong>I don't think they'd have another revision without bumping the Mhz.</strong><hr></blockquote>
hey, they just did now and noone complained, even if it was 3months or so that they updated them, its not too soon for another rev, they are holding out i suppose, for 1.25 next revision
in august/sept I'd expect an update:
new case, new hinge, ApE, BT, 1FW2 (one reg also), 2USB2
light up keyboard stays with lapzilla (for this rev anyway)
<strong>... that would be nearly a year for an update. Apple might let their consumer lines stagnate, but not the Pro lines.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Umm, I guess you haven't looked at the PowerMacs in a while?
Disclaimer: Yes, I know the PMs were updated not long ago, but I was referring to the "stagnation" comment; many people feel the PMs are a bit long-in-the-tooth...

I would really like a 12 with DVI-out, but I'm betting it won't happen until the second revision, at least a year from now.

<strong>AlBook doesn't have quite the same ring as TiBook though...</strong><hr></blockquote>
While I agree, it's certainly better than "Al", as in "Albert".

It's not the AlBook.... it's BookZilla! ...aty least the 17" anyway
what i would like (and expect) on the rev b 12"...256mb of ram on board with open slot....up the graphics to the same card in the 17" (they can up the 17" to the next step up to keep the difference)....FW800....1 gig with 167 bus
what i would love to also have is: removiable graphics card, lighted keyboard (i am a slut for those kind of things)....maybe a pc slot if you guys can tell me why i would want it.... g
but mainly it is there to make sure you can expand the computer... IE: F/W 800/1600/3200(they are coming!) and/or USB2 cards or 802.11g cards
might not be important right now but 2 years down the road, they can save your ass (relatively speaking)
