Think about it. We're all compiling for Intel now anyway.…

What people are ignoring is simple economics: Apple make their money from HARDWARE. If they were to sell MacOS X for generic PCs they would have to charge about twice as much as th…

People need to remember to lesson that Jobs learned with Next. Next was originally a hardware manufacturer that later became a software only company. Next was unable to get a footh…

NO. Apple's killed the Macintosh dead, dead, dead but at the very least we can pretend such a thing exists if they don't let Dell dolts run Mac OS X as well.
Mac OS X isn't Macin…

as a 12" powerbook user (1.33g alubook), i'm both disappointed and relieved.
disappointed because i'd hoped for at least a speed bump, maybe a better screen, and the backlit keybo…

Anyone who was expecting something major hasn't been reading the news. With the Mactels less than a year away, this bump is fine to hold the line until the new models come.

This is a pathetic upgrade.
The screen isn't 1920x1200. Why not? You can get 1920x1200 on a Dell, and it costs $1200 less.
No dual-layer DVD burner either.
Overall, I'm not impr…

Have you ever tried reading anything on a 1900x1200 17" screen?
the "new" books...let the ranting begin... — #6
Exactly. Many people will wait. If you need a 15 or 17 right now, the update isn't bad but nothing to break the bank over. If anything, this leads me to think that the Mactel PBs w…

I was SO impressed with the updates today that I just bought a 12" iBook. Screw the PowerBooks until Apple gets their act together. I'm keeping my money.

Well I have been waiting for a new PB to replace my 1Gig PB 17" for quite some time now.
I was full of anticipation, and really was hoping for a 2Gig PB.
Well, as we know now, n…

Yup, by a whole 250 MHz.

The PowerBook was just what has been predicted and nothing more. Apple just can't get a G5 in that little case, and the little case is one of the PowerBook's biggest "features". …
