It's January 2003... (Powerbook questions)
I want to buy a Powerbook but there's this money problem... :-)
So I'm going to wait one year and have to save some money.
My questions are: What can I expect when I'm buying a PB in 2003? Is there a G5 in it? 2 GHz? Anything else?
Maybe you could speculate a little bit. Would be very interesting, I think.
Best regards,
Far

Updated enclosure to have a more "iBook-like" hinge--shedding another 6oz!
256 mb ram standard up to 2 gig
72 - 160 gig HD
<strong>1, 1.2 G4

hard drives really that big? seems a little "out there" to me... what about ram speed and bus speed?
this actually sounds pretty cool. If I get an iMac instead of an iBook I may just wait for one of these in a year!!
In my opinion the design is nearly perfect. They don't have to change the case or something.
A G5 CPU would be great, but I think the PowerMacs are getting it first. And I don't believe that we'd see a PM G5 this year. Maybe next year.
Btw, what kind of RAM is used in the current PB modells?
<strong>Ok - I think they'll have G5 powerbooks; apple has consistantly had the best laptops first.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Doubtful. The G4 was introduced in the Powermac in '99 and the Powerbook didn't get it until MWSF '01.
