MacNN: 17" PowerBooks hit the channel (updated)


MacNN reported Friday (March 14) that 17-inch PowerBooks are in transit to resellers. One unnamed reseller stated that:

"So far they only have shipped one unit, probably getting one unit out to each Apple Specialist for display purposes."

Previously, "pre-production" units were displayed Apple retail stores around the US last month, but many stores simply used these as a non-interactive display models, according to MacNN.

A quick check of the Apple Store (online) reveals that those ordering today can expect a three to five week wait before their orders will ship.
