Thinksecret claims new 13.3" Intel iBooks in Jan... — #33
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…

Ah comon, this can just be about looks. If an iBook gets a DVI and decent CPU/GPU upgrade it will be just as good as any existing 12" PB. If you have a problem with its looks and t…

Just a hunch but I really doubt Apple will EVER ship anything that has a "Pentium" in it. I don't think they would want that name associated with Apple/Mac. Even if they just cal…

I agree with chrisutley; I doubt that the processors for Apple will be branded the same way as the rest of Intel's line. But just what they will call them is something I'm curious…

I think they will call them Intel chips, or Intel Centrino Duo, or Centrino, or really anything but Pentium in the laptops. In the desktops I'm not sure; I have yet to see anything…

It's so tempting to buy a new laptop right now with $50 to $100 off across Apple's entire lineup. Boxing day sales are huge up here, for those who are unfamiliar with it. I feel li…

Oh and something else:
A user named "steeldrivingjon" from the macrumors board posted the following message:

im_noahselby: Pentium Ms are generally pricey CPUs, but NEC may be targeting a higher clocked chip; I haven't seen pricing but the slowest Yonah chips (~1.6Ghz) may be relatively c…

Interesting thoughts in this thread.
But I have to admit that I am really Apple's bitch. I will buy whatever they come out with on the 10th…

Nice catch... I'd bet money you're right.

The Dual Core Yonahs are more expensive. iBooks will ship with single core Yonahs.
OS X Intel Boot loader Question — #2
So far as I've read, while Apple will not make it impossible to run other OSs, they aren't going to go out of their way to make it easy.

Well - that's too bad. I would imagine that a nice apple-branded switcher to make it easy to switch to OS X, so people don't go to do something in windows and stay there. Especiall…
