Highest speed is now 1.5 GHz, there is now an option for 128 MB VRAM, and 4x Superdrive.

Also, this is definitely not enough incentive to even make me consider selling my Rev. B 17 Inch G4 (1.33 GHz). The only thing I am semi-jealous about is the 4x Superdrive though.

The new ones are faster.

Also more expensive? didn't the 12 inchers start at $999 before?

Actually, the 17 Inch Powerbook's base price dropped from 2999, to 2799, I don't know about the 15 and 12 though, cause I have a 17.

It did when it was a G3. It went up to $1099 when then put the G4 in it.
