Toshiba 17" Notebook - Could it be any more ugly!

Toshiba is coming out with a 17" laptop and it's about as ugly as ugly can be. The article says:

The machine goes on sale today via Toshiba's Web site and through its retail channel for a base price of $2,100. That compares with about $3,300 as the starting price for the 17-inch Powerbook. Debate the Mac OS versus Windows all you want--when it comes down to basic hardware specs, suddenly Apple has some stiff competition from the Windows world.

What it doesn't say is that the Toshiba is 1.8" thick, weighs 9.9lbs and looks like something designed in high school shop class! This thing isn't even remotely in the same class as the 1", 6.8" pound, elegantly designed 17" Powerbook.
