I must say that this has been one of the most intelligent threads in Macnn in a long time. More logic less flaming this is the reason I initially became a member of this community.…

From WWDC they said Mactels will be shipping by this time next year which means June 2006, it is pretty vague statement since it can also mean Mactels can ship out anytime from her…

Remeber. Intel has stated that yonah is good to go in Jan. 2006. another update on the roadmap: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthre...hreadid=142891

Whatever Apple does to the PowerBook line, I hope it's soon! I can't see how people can justify PowerBooks anymore. I'm writing this on a 17" PowerBook G4 1.33 2G Ram 80Mb HD and…

One of the stated reasons from Apple in the days post-announcement about the switch was that IBM simply couldn't produce a mobile G5 chip. There's no way in hell that Apple would …

I don't think that its entirely unbelievable. I imagine it hinges on their calculations regarding slagging sales and reduced margins if they keep a G4 or the redesign costs to go …

Repeat after me, there will never be a PowerBook G5. Even if IBM can produce a low-power G5 that doesn't cause 3rd degree burns when placed in a 12" PowerBook, and fab it in suffi…

Well, as you've made clear, it's does seem rather complicated. Which is why is amuses me when people go making categorical statements regarding what will or won't happen. As for a…

>If the G5 went in the PB, then I'd imagine the 7448 would go in the iBook until the Merom was available. and all if it would be for a product that lasts only for a few months…

Really, Apple isn't going to want a single core Merom in the iBooks? So, with Vista as its motivator, the PC industry starts putting Celeron Merom's in their budget laptops Apple i…

If the next version is capable of playing HD then I will consider buying. I like HD. Seems like someone here posted their top of the line PB could play HD flawlessly but I don't kn…

Yonah IS the next mobile processor from Intel that will be fabricated using a 65 nm technology. It will come in single (i.e. iBook, mac mini) and dual core (powerbook, iMac) forms.…

You know 6 months from now, we'll revive this thread and laugh at you for thinking a G5 PowerBook was in the cards.

Peace. Till 6 months from now and one of us can laugh at the other's stance. ;p
