So would anyone in the know mind explaining to me what the deal is with PC2-4200 running at 333MHz? I'm assuming the G4 memory bus is the same 167MHz as in my Rev. A 17" @ 1GHz, no…

quit bitching about it. Apple isn't making you buy anything.

Well, this is a terrible update after 10 months, or however incredibly long it has been. the bus is the same, the speed is the same--it's just price cuts and whatever improvements …

Right about now my money is burning a hole in my pocket....for a Sony S series laptop.
That about says it all for the Apple laptop upgrades. However if I only had a 1 Ghz Powerbo…

If they lowered the price another $500, I would have been happy with the update. The PB is simply not worth the price, I don't care what anyone says.

The picture at the Apple store of the "new" (lol) PB is pretty cool.

Go price me a laptop with all the options that the current powerbook offers, then get back to me. I'm talking about quality laptop makers not some cheap ****.

Im waiting for the Mobile Intel Macs. This will be a poor seller to those privy enough to know whats going on. But Apple needs to make improvements for those wanting them and their…

All in all its a pretty crappy upgrade, but then there probably wasnt much they could have done that could have been considered value added. Why invest time and resources in a sys…

I really don't get all the whining; for those of us in the upgrade cycle, it's a pleasant surprise. For those who weren't buying, you're not buying now anyway, so who really cares …

You'll be waiting a long[er] time for an Intel Powerbook, though. Like Apple said, they're going to transition the "consumer" computers first (iBook, Mac Mini, perhaps iMac?) befor…

I purchased a new 17" PB 2 months ago. Well actually I purchased 8 because the first 7 were faulty (bad batch apparently)
Anyways, I'm pretty relieved. I was dreading a major upda…

I have had my 1.33 GHZ, 17 inch, 7200 rpm drive PBG4 for 25 months now. Aside from some key wear, it is in flawless condition. Even waited until last month to do the screen replace…

my current 1.67 will be fine until the 2nd or 3rd gen of intel pb's. i think those who own a fairly recent pb, 1.5ghz and up are in the best position. buying a 2nd or 3rd gen intel…

Why is anyone buying this pre-historic piece of crap? This is a very, very outdated machine. Nobody "needs" a laptop that bad. I can not believe people waste $2000 so easily.
