TABLE 14.1 JOBS’S MACWORLD 2003 PRESENTATION<br />
STEVE’S WORDS<br />
“Two years ago, we introduced a<br />
landmark product for Apple. The<br />
Titanium PowerBook instantly became<br />
the best notebook in the industry. The<br />
number one lust object.”<br />
“Every review said so.”<br />
“And you know what? Nobody has<br />
caught up with it in two years.”<br />
“Almost every reviewer today still says<br />
it is the number one notebook in the<br />
industry. No one is even close.”<br />
“This is important for Apple because<br />
we believe that someday notebooks are<br />
even going to outsell desktops . . . We<br />
want to replace even more desktops<br />
with notebooks.”<br />
“So, how do we do this? What’s next?<br />
Well, the Titanium PowerBook is a<br />
milestone product, and it’s not going<br />
away. But we’re going to step it up a<br />
notch to attract even more people from<br />
a desktop to a notebook.”<br />
“And how do we do that? We do that<br />
with this.”<br />
“The new seventeen-inch PowerBook. A<br />
seventeen-inch landscape screen.”<br />
“It’s stunning.”<br />
“And when you close it, it is only one<br />
inch thick.”<br />
“The thinnest PowerBook ever. Let me<br />
go ahead and show you one. I happen<br />
to have one right here.”<br />
