To put the impact of the TiBook in historical context, the Mac it replaced was the PowerBook G3 which, while a beautiful and powerful machine in its own way, was an absolute beast in comparison. Christopher PhinĪs Steve Jobs said at its introduction, “When you move your cursor up to the edge you’re afraid it’s gonna fly off!” Yeah, it’s not edge-to-edge glass as we expect now, but the bezel itself is nevertheless actually slimmer than on my MacBook Pro. Now, sure, my pre-Retina MacBook Pro is starting to look a bit tubby now, especially next to the Air or the new MacBook, but it’s still remarkable to me, given that “old” is usually synonymous with “chunky” when you’re talking about computers, that a laptop introduced over 14 years ago still goes toe-to-toe with what is still a pretty current design.
