Very impressive indeed. Most PC product vendors don't even remember what was
made 7 years ago.

...it had
terrible QC problems. It's a tossup which was the less reliable
product: the 1710AV, or the PowerBook 5300. Check out some of the
you-had-to-be-there rants about this monitor in Google Groups
(comp.sys.macintosh.*)
As of last summer though Apple was still keeping it's promise
of repairing defective 5300's. Mine hadn't yet had the case repaired
and they replaced the whole outer casing under warranty, including
shipping both ways. Not bad service for a near 7 year old laptop.
