Oh no... let's hope not!

I'd buy a pink Powerbook in a heartbeat. Sure, Powerbooks may be for "pro" users, but who says pros don't like colour?

I wouldn't count on it. Powerbooks are supposed to be prolevel. I don't see an executive walking into a board meeting with a green powerbook. I'd count on colors in the iBooks w…

I'd buy a black PowerBook.

cdhostage, you could always get a Pismo G3 and a G4 processor card . iBook mini in anodised aluminium? Nice idea!

Well, the G5 2.0 Xserve launch included one fact that some have overlooked. It uses 90 nm G5s, not the 130 nm G5s in the Power Macs. That means IBM's 90 nm process is going pretty…

I was thinking the very same thing... At first, I thought they keynote was pretty stupid this time, until I realized the importance of the G5 Xserve! I mean, screw these iPod min…

I thought they were going to squeeze the size down smaller than 90 nm before the G5 moved to the powerbook. Also, remember he said the cooling in the 1U Xserve case was a real ch…

I think it's a step, but I don't see G5 PB's soon, unless you wanna use it as a laptop/leaf blower.

I think they will have a new cooling technology. Something totally "unheard of". Fans are noisy.

Wasn't there a rumor a few months ago about Apple investing in a new type of liquid cooling? I think it was something to do with ultra-small tubes embedded in the heatsink (or some…

my guess is a liquid cooling system based on convection and fans. Liquid will be circulated through tubing that passes over or through heat sinks. As the heat from the processor …

I still think we're going to see dual G4 PBs (at least in PB17 form factors) before G5s. This buys Apple another 6-9 months for G5PB development, which is going to be needed due t…

Did it ever occur to anyone that the aluminum PowerBooks released in the past year are stop-gap measures until the G5 is ready? As I have said so many times before, Apple was work…

Yeah, I think it's pretty naive to think that Apple/IBM weren't working right from the start with a low power G5 in mind. Remember, Apple sells a LOT of laptops and it is a key pa…

Personally, I think Apple's stressing thinness of laptops far too much in the recent PowerBooks. I'm on a 15Al right now, and the sheer area of the screen is wonderful. I've play…

I won't buy a 15" laptop over 6 lbs. I won't buy any laptop over 7 lbs.

Now can someone explain me this simple thing? How is possible that Voodoo PC sells 64 bit notebooks featuring 3 real hours on battery, and Apple cannot do that with the G5, especia…
