I'm using Safari right now. I'm pretty sure that its based on Chimera. Seems to work very well so far.

As for the 17" Powerbook, its very cool, but I don't know who is going to use it. Its a monster. It will be impossible to use on airplanes and trains because of its size. It weighs 1.5 lbs more than the 15" Powerbook. It will not fit in any travel bags that I'm aware of. I can only imagine it being used for professionals who use their laptops as portable high-end tools for things such as remote video editing or some sort of data analysis.

It'll probably be just the right size for those product-placement episodes in movies, where the hero/heroine flips open a laptop to type in arcane commands that will vanquish the bad guys and save the world.

Nice big illuminated Apple logo, shiny exterior, big screen = great marketing.
