Ogrady's PowerPage reports that new Books will arrive next Tuesday, April 30. Bad news is that they offer nothing but a faster chip: * 667 MHz G4, 20 GB HDD, 256 MB RAM, DVD/CD-R…

If O'Grady is right, I may get one, unless they tempt me with an iBook, too. (Paid for by work, not me.) The rumor does "feel" right: � price increase along with the iMac � 800Mh…

I would get one, too. They just need a slightly updated graphics chip.

i was trying to fix this guys Lombard today. He has a VST DVD drive and hardware decoder card. They originally worked fine but he wierd his hard drive clean (he had 8.6) and inst…

Older DVD drives and software were finicky with certain DVDs - the Matrix was notorious for causing problems. Newer drives and software such as your Pismo fixed the problem. Vers…

Now they just need to shave a $1000 bucks or off the price and it will be perfect. The screen rez is still too low. Tho for the price they are asking I would want the 64MB DDR vers…

It is hard to complain about this update -- most of the things that people have been asking for seem to have been taken care of. I'm attracted by the new models (particularly the …

People are never, and I mean never happy. Quote: Now they just need to shave a $1000 bucks or off the price and it will be perfect. The screen rez is still too …

Build time is eight days so they're shipping as it was same build time last week for old spec Ti's

'eh, not bad not bad. Definetely not enough to justify an upgrade for current TiBook owners. Only changes that I like are: Pros: 1. 1mb L3 DDR cache 2. Radeon 7500 Cons: 1. 1280…

The differance from 500Mhz to 667Mhz would be noticeable, but the differance from 667Mhz to 800Mhz would be astonishing, the extra cache, processor speed and processor will add to …

Whoa, I didn't notice that the new models had audio-in jacks as well. Kind of sad that this is something to get excited about, but this is definitely an improvement.

Well the old powerbooks were said to be used for professional audio and they didn't even have a basic audio input, they only have mic in, which quality wise is sh**, but it seems t…

Hmmm...I a hot for this. Now if I buy one I don't have to worry about people telling me what a fool I am for buying an extra Powerbook. Since they look so similar I can shove the …

Well im glad that you are... Hows your 8MB video card going? Yeah, i bet that it flies I guess we will have to wait and see some benchmarks, I am very interested to see …

Ok, there are a few really nice improvements: better resolution (but not too much which is good imo), audio in, level 3 cache and faster CPU/Graphics. That's all great. BUT what a…

Well, i would say it is derived from the 7445 Mobile G4, although the Motorola site, didn't say that it could include L3 Cache, however i would say that it would run cooler, probab…

Excellent...at long last a TiPB spec I'm happy to toss down cash for. Best feature is definiately the higher screen res Out goes my old iMac 400MHz G3, which has lasted 2.5yr…
