The flip-up screen on the Pismo is wonderful for tinkering, but the rigid mount keyboard on the aluminum books are just delightful. I don't get why the 12" and even 14" iBooks are so difficult to swap hard drives on though, as they have flip-up KBs like the Pismo and Lombard, I call that poor design on the newer models.
I had an IBM X21 that only required 1 screw to access the hard drive, which slid right out of the side of the computer. This easy access was in a computer considerably smaller and lighter than my 12" PB, and what I consider terrific industrial design.
