It says that the re-build of 10.4.4 will have more support for nvidia... that would be awesome if you were given the option between which GPU you wanted...

I don't think Apple will give a choice of GPU, but if there are Intel iBooks (I'm still skeptical enough not to assume anything), I think a 13.3" widescreen model and the discontin…

If they make a 13.3" widescreen laptop with monitor spanning and a superdrive option, I don't care what they call it, I want it.
I had speculated that it might make sense to have …

iBooks are VERY favorably priced compared to similarly-equipped PC laptops. (Look for things like a real GPU with real VRAM, not just integrated video.)
And of course, all iBooks …

I would bet that ThnkSecret is wrong and Apple will not continue with a 12" 4:3 iBook. Consider that the iBook will likely be totally redesigned when it goes Intel. To design a 12"…

I really really want an Intel iBook, but I guess there won't be a spanning hack anymore, since the architecture will change substantially when they go Intel. At least not for some …

I'll post pictures of it when I'm at Macworld. Stay tuned in!
I'm just about ready to retire my two year old 12" PowerBook. Too bad airfare was so expensive this year, or I mig…

The "bang for the buck" factor is why we switched in the first place. My wife needed a lightweight portable for school, and looking at ALL the numbers, we found that you get the M…

Just had a thought on this; if a new iBook really does have a 13.3" wide screen display, why would it be 1280x720 rather than 1280x854? Expanding the horizontal screen space from …

Most "high-rez" 13.3" screens seem to be 1280x800 these days. Thus, that's the rez I'd expect a new 13.3" laptop from Apple to get. However, two things:
1) I still think it will b…

Don't all of Apple's widescreen displays, both built-in and Cinemas, have a 16:10 aspect ratio? If true (and I'm fairly certain it is), that'd be another reason to expect 1280 x 80…

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what resolution Apple will adopt for their new iBooks. I for one am just happy that they will finally be going widescreen and giving laptop …

Think about it for a second.
With most loyal customers criticizing Apple on the transition, this would be a perfect chance for Apple to justify the switch and say "I told you so."…
