Can Apple's largest PowerBook pass itself off as a portable computer?

Here's a good look at a piece of handsome looking hardware that is not only functional but also extremely easy to master. It's high time for Windows users to stamp the myths of it just being an eye-candy or a hard-to-grasp system once and for all.

The PowerBook is chic and sleek with a beautifully smooth aluminium body
