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."…

I'm not saying a dual-core iBook is totally out of the question. Just makes it seem like the PowerBook is gonna need some kind of mind-blowing additional feature to really differen…

Something else that could be making this ibook more likely: the UK apple refurb store is now showing the newest generation of ibooks (1.33 for 12", 1.42 for 14"), and have only bee…

AI is chiming in. Single (1.67GHz) and dual core (1.67-2.16 GHz) Yonah to be here in January.
13.3" widescreen iBooks could get the 1.67GHz single, the 15" PowerBook could get the…

I guess it all boils down to how important pure size is.
I needed the better GPU and VRAM more than the small size, so I bought a 15" after having used a 12". I still love the 12"…

A few things:

Ever since Apple included DVI on the mini (which after all is the cheapest of all Macs) I can't understand how they couldn't put it on the iBook as well. When the 12" PB is gone an…

It has little to do with screen size, and all to do with the fact that Best Buy (which owns Future Shop, by the way) generally only carries the lowest model each model carries in t…
