"If some laptop sales slip into next quarter, that's not the worst thing in the world. Regrettable, but not a killer." Very true Marc. Even if we ship "just" 120K powerbooks this quarter, our revenue from laptop sales will increase significantly due to higher average unit price. Last quarter Apple shipped 103K PowerBooks with average unit price of $2452, which is equal to $253 million in revenue. Since average unit price should be closer to $2800 this quarter, if Apple ships 120K, our revenue from laptops will increase to $336 million, for an approximate increase of $83 million. Eric
