[Ti] New Ti Powerbook

Wed Apr 21 09:21:39 PDT 2004

Just to be clear, I never said the Als WERE flimsy, just that they FELT 
flimsy... that's a personal thing i guess. Industrial designers pay close 
attention (the good ones anyway) not only to a products durability but also 
to the "feel" type interactions... the snap of a flip phone for example, the 
lovely latch on all powerbooks and perfect feel of opening or closing a 
luxury cars door.... I just notice when I use someone's Aluminum it feels 
closer to an iBook to me in that physical sense... durable, but not as 
elegant. We're lucky to own products that are so wonderfully made that we're 
forced to pick at little things. I'm sure if I owned an Aluminum I'd grow to 
love it more than my titanium. But I won't say that out loud, it's sitting 
right behind me.........

&gt; Love those light up keyboards though... not that I'd ever personally 
use it
&gt; but..

Compared to the Ti the Al is a tank - not flimsy at all. I figured the
illuminated keyboard was mostly a gimmick, just a coolness feature to make
PC users drool, but I've discovered that it is incredibly useful after all.
