Check out page 106...there's no traditional heatsink, just a heat pipe running across all 3 chips. Normally there's a small heatsink with a pipe that runs to a radiator...I'm impressed.

I think the iBook fits that comment better, all other Aluminum PowerBooks except the 12" use the heatpipe with little flat areas for the chips.
 
1440 x 960 resolution?

The service manual states the MBP has a 1440 x 960 resolution. Seems to be a typo, but that would be cool.

80GB 5400 RPM hard drive standard
100GB/120GB 5400 RPM, 100GB 7200 RPM hard drive option
No modem

thank you, lol doesn't make it easy if i ever want to remove anything (besides ram it seems).. but none theless very interesting!
Thanks too-I always enjoy reading the Apple service manuals, along with Sony's (which provide a revision history-Apple should do that too).

It also states that the AC adaptor is the only part from the powerbook that is compatible with MBP....so I think this might be an early revision.
