CNN's PowerBook G4 review says the "sleek, stylish" laptop may "reshape the laptop," although it incorrectly states the laptop includes ability to burn CDs and DVD videodisks.

    let them know

    for gods sake somebody email the CNN writer and let them know so they can correct it; the last thing we need is for people to get pissed off at Apple for something that's not even their fault (for a change)...

    DVD

    Has anyone noted this passage? -

    "And for the creative artist in you, the G4's DVD-ROM drive not only reads audio CDs, Photo CDs, software CDs and DVD movies -- it also has the ability to burn CDs and DVD videodisks."

    I didn't know my TiBook can burn CD's and DVD's!! Must be confused with the G4 733mhz.

    They also said all you need for wireless networking is the $100 airport card when you also need the base station. Duh.

    it does, however, ...

    ... have the ability to receive a nice static shock when you touch it after walking across carpet (freezing the computer), and a nice flexible case that dents easily and bends the motherboard, as well as causing the battery to lose contact and thereby crash if you lift it while on battery power. Other extra features include a DVD player that won't give you back the DVD once you put it in and a screen that is very sensitive to viewing direction. Not to mention light weight! A whole 0.7 lbs less than the Pismo!! Wow!!! How did they manage to shave a whole 0.7 lbs off!!!! All in all, another great computer from Steve! Bring on OS X!!!!

    Stupid CNN

    I wonder how bad they s**** up the news if they can't even get the facts straight on a simple PowerBook review. They suck.

    FOX NEWS CHANNEL RULES!!!!!!!

    The guy is clueless

    It seems like he just read the product info. page on Apple.com and tried to make a review out of it.

    Geez, will Apple give eval units to *anyone* these days? Cuz I want one!
