[QUOTE="to_tough_to_die, post: 181899, member: 14019"] Actually the "Power" didn't come from the PowerPC processor, the first PowerBook's used pre-PowerPC's. The "Power" would probably be attributed to it being for the "power-user" who needed the processing power, the "book" being from Jobs' dream of having a Mac in a book (what he originally wanted with the Macintosh Portable). The only reason is that Apple felt that they needed the Mac name in their products, and now they have an excuse to, as the MacBook Pro really is a completely new computer. This is the reason the iMac name went unchanged. [/QUOTE]
