MacFixIt reader Jason notes that the new PowerBooks ship with OS X 10.3.7 build 7T62.

Jason also notes that both Mac OS X 10.3.7 and iLife '05 are included on a single DVD with the new machines:

"The Mac OS X Install Disc 1 is a 6.69 GB DVD. It includes all of the iLife '05 applications, which can be installed by running the Install Bundled Software Only Application. (It's not a separate DVD, as is the case with the Mac mini.) The Mac OS 9 install disk includes a new installer that let you select which language version of Mac OS 9 you want to install. When installing the English version of Classic you end up version 1.8.3, build 168.9, Sep 20 2004 15:55:50. The version number matches that on my PowerMac G5 2X1.8GHz."
