I predict we will see a revised Powerbook at or before the WWDC. Atleast 800MHz, 32MEG VRAM, built-in bluetooth, Faster system Bus, and other minor improvements. Fingers crossed!

Apple needs to hit the 1Ghz mark to generate some key selling points. Also, I know they're working on higher DPI screens, so I'm looking forward to that. I wouldn't mind if they …
