I remember a debate over 2400c's and Duos being on the same list. The principal issue raised by the splitters was how different the 2400c was from the other sub-notebook Duos. Eric decided to not split the list, partly as I recall because so many 2400c owners also owned or had owned Duos, keeping that expertise a part of the community. The 12.1" iBook arrived after there already was an iBook list [P1] and the original iBook was far from being a sub-notebook. But many 2400c owners bought 12.1" iBooks so it is reasonable that they be considered to be added.
The benefit to including the new 12" PowerBook G4s is the same, i.e. retention of Duo and 2400c expertise as a part of the community on the list.

I'm trying to decide where we take the list. With the new machines this
list will be less essential for many of us who are upgrading and will
eventually go the way of other great Mac lists.
I'm considering transitioning the list into a more general Mac Sub-compacts
list. I'm thinking that this will give us a concise focus while still
allowing us to talk about the new machines.
