maybe there are other threads about this... but people are mentioning the arrival of G5 Powerbooks in 2005? Isn't that a bit unreal? I figured that the chips in G5 would burn through my pants if it were a laptop. I figured that it would be more realistic of dual-G4 powerbooks came out before G5's... right?



I heard Apple & some liquid-cooling company joined up or something...? Can someone update me about this also?



Thanks,

deunan

    No, I think he is talking about the Lap Broiler.

    The problem isn't the G5 chip itself; it's the system controller chip that is a major source of heat. A dual G4 wouldn't really be much better unless it was a dual-core chip, but we haven't seen anything real pointing to those.
