2005 PowerBook G4 Special Report: Brighter screens, keyboards
Several readers note that both the screens, and the backlit keyboards are brighter on the new PowerBook models.
While lamenting the slow trackpad speed, Thom Deevers notes the more intense screen and keyboard lighting:
"I own a 1.25 GHz (previous generation) PowerBook and just purchased the 1.5 GHz (new generation) PowerBook. The trackpad speed is noticeably slower. If I didn?t have previous experience with it though, it would be no big deal. I do prefer the faster tracking of the old model."
"I have also placed two PowerBooks (old and new) next to each other and the new PowerBook's screen is a lot brighter; and I mean a lot! The keyboard lighting is also a lot brighter. I prefer the brighter screen and keyboard but at night in dim light the display on the 1.5 is a tad on the too-bright side."

absolutely beautiful compared to that one.
