Ports (TiBook had Ethernet, modem, full sized DVI, FireWire, USB, optical audio, s-video, and PCMCIA), upgradable memory and storage, replaceable battery, and an illuminated Apple logo ;-)
I can’t remember if it was the 2012 or 2016 MBP, but it was about 10 years between the TiBook and the next Apple portable with as accurate color representation. It was even longer before another Mac laptop had a screen as thin with bezels as small.
Picking mine up for the first time in several years, I’m shocked at how huge and heavy it was. In its day it was 30-50% thinner and lighter than a high end Dell.
My grandma had one of these and I loved it. Great machine!
I definitely prefer a modern machine because of speed, portability, and battery life. I'd consider picking up one of these just for nostalgia sake though to use for fun side projects.
