Why not getting into it in depth? Would that be the whole point posting a response refuting Mr. Ebert's claims?
That's funny, when I close the lid of my Thinkpad R51 it goes to sleep immediately and when I re-open it wakes up...
As far as connections go the only differences I can see on a cursory examination are an extra firewire port and a DVI port on the Powerbook, while the Powerbook gives up a PCMCIA slot to the Thinkpad.
I think the success of the Itanium not only rests on its technical merits but more importantly it rests with how much mindshare they can get for the product with the business people who, more often than not, end up making technical decision in a void.
I think that Intel is aware of this. Marketing can make the product. The best engineered solution does not always win out.
