Build time is eight days so they're shipping as it was same build time last week for old spec Ti's

'eh, not bad not bad. Definetely not enough to justify an upgrade for current TiBook owners. Only changes that I like are: Pros: 1. 1mb L3 DDR cache 2. Radeon 7500 Cons: 1. 1280…

The differance from 500Mhz to 667Mhz would be noticeable, but the differance from 667Mhz to 800Mhz would be astonishing, the extra cache, processor speed and processor will add to …

Whoa, I didn't notice that the new models had audio-in jacks as well. Kind of sad that this is something to get excited about, but this is definitely an improvement.

Well the old powerbooks were said to be used for professional audio and they didn't even have a basic audio input, they only have mic in, which quality wise is sh**, but it seems t…

Hmmm...I a hot for this. Now if I buy one I don't have to worry about people telling me what a fool I am for buying an extra Powerbook. Since they look so similar I can shove the …

Well im glad that you are... Hows your 8MB video card going? Yeah, i bet that it flies I guess we will have to wait and see some benchmarks, I am very interested to see …

Ok, there are a few really nice improvements: better resolution (but not too much which is good imo), audio in, level 3 cache and faster CPU/Graphics. That's all great. BUT what a…

Well, i would say it is derived from the 7445 Mobile G4, although the Motorola site, didn't say that it could include L3 Cache, however i would say that it would run cooler, probab…

Excellent...at long last a TiPB spec I'm happy to toss down cash for. Best feature is definiately the higher screen res Out goes my old iMac 400MHz G3, which has lasted 2.5yr…

Im in Canberra... and yes the Faster version of the PB retails in the US for $3200 so if the exchange rate was 1USD to .50AD then it should retail for just over $6400AD, in fact it…

I still wish it had a 64mb radeon for the high end model. Oh well, its a good update.

No sure of the complexities of purchasing a TiPB o/s. I've had out of the box issues in the past though, so tend to only buy domestically. On the Australian pricing front: I will …

Wow! This update was a lot better than the one we got in October. I'm tempted, but my Ti667 will serve me well until the next update. If it's this good already, I can't wait to see…

Who is sellin his old TiPB to a poor student in Paris )

No PAN (Personal Area Network) technology in this one though. IR is gone, and Bluetooth has not been added. So much for syncing my Nokia 8290 phone, or using it as a modem withou…

Anyone know where to find one of the 550mhz DVD/CD-RW powerbooks cheap now that they have been discontinued?

Drakino - I thought something looked off on that new back panel. So we get audio-in, but lose IR. Just like how we lost one FW port and the audio-in during the upgrade from the Pim…

THERE IS A GOD. This is as good as I could have imagined, I'm taking out the credit card now. I love these little surprises--ie, the L3 cache!!! That's awesome, and will make a…

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!! Finally. I've been holding out for this day since January and it's finally here. I guess I wanted 1536x1024, but this will do fine. The 1MB L3 …
