Three for the Road: Apple Unveils New PowerBooks

Apple updated its PowerBook line today, but there's nothing exceptional here. The 12-inch still lacks a widescreen display. Processor speeds start at 1.5 GHz and go up to 1.67 GHz. New features include a scrollable trackpad that lets you use two fingers to scroll through documents and an IBM-like Sudden Motion Sensor that parks the hard drive head if its senses the machine taking a fall. Sadly, such a fall will result in the complete destruction of your notebook, anyway, since PowerBooks are fragile and Apple doesn't cover accidental damage even if you had wanted to pay for that kind of support in advance. Overall, a minor bump.
