    Dear all,

    This should be an easy question....

    Has the W3 and Powerbook G4 got the same material palm rest? The PB G4 we have here looks very like the W3 in the pictures. (apart from colour)

    Thanks all

    I believe the casing of the Powerbook G4 is aluminum...? or titanium? I forget which one... but it's a metal, I think.
    The W3 uses a carbon fiber/ABS plastic alloy for its palmrest.
