New PB 15" w/video upgrade and 17" have dual-link DVI output
[link|http://www.apple.com/powerbook/specs.html|PB Tech Specs]
15 PB w/Super Drive - ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 with 64MB of DDR SDRAM. Available with 128MB of DDR SDRAM and dual-link DVI as BTO option.


17 PB - ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 with 128MB of DDR SDRAM and dual-link DVI

New Zero downside.
They are fabulous machines. Been fortunate enough to play with a ti as well as a dual-proc G5. These machines are well engineered and built and OSX is very nice.
