I saw the Mac Portable for the first time yesterday, and I was not
impressed. I must admit the screen was the best ever created. The guy
there told me each pixel has its own transistor, and judging by the
sharpness, that must be a lot of em! But otherwise: price, size, weight,
etc, Apple did a poor job. If you took a se, removed the screen and put
in a LCD, shrunk the case, put in the rollerball, and rerpositioned the
drive and cpu, you would have a mac portable. It's probably close to the
volume of the SE. Apple thought they could impress the public and
business community with a portable with their own (and no way a lap
top), but I am not impressed.  They should consider revolutionizing
their way of building AND the price... I hardly believe anyone would get
it at $6000 (I think). A GS protable? Heh... no way. I would think a MAC
is easier to make, and look what happened!
