I doubt anyone was thinking that it was enormously smaller.  After all,
there's a certain minimum size involved given that you want a 12" screen and
a keyboard (and a battery, and RAM, and a CPU, and...).  The point, at least
for me, is that here's (finally!) a Powerbook that's very close to the Duo
form factor, that's got pretty much all the features of the high-end
machines.  That really hasn't happened since the Duo/2400 era.
