With the latest version of its 17-inch wide-screen PowerBook, Apple incorporates some nice upgrades but leaves out the one most of us were hoping for: a mobile version of the high-performance G5 chip. Still, the impressively designed 17-inch PowerBook G4, Apple's premiere desktop replacement, is equipped with a new-and-improved set of specs and features, including a scrolling trackpad, for easier navigation through documents and Web pages, and Sudden Motion Sensor technology to protect the hard drive. Apple has also lowered the price by about $100; unfortunately, at $2,699, the 17-inch PowerBook G4 still costs hundreds more than the PC competition..
