New 15" PowerBook Specs to Argue Over
The Paris thread is a little long.
Anyway guys... we didn't have time to confirm these, but they came in about 5 hours ago. Couple specs on the 15" models from a source's source =P
15" 1GHz 60GB BT, FW 800
15" 1.25GHz 80GB BT, FW 800
I have no idea how authentic these are. And I would not bet anything on them. I do not have time to work to confirm them, so I'm just posting them here for the fun of it.
Cheers,
Kasper

Macrumors had similar specs but wasn't sure if they were legit either.

This is a super holdover update until the .09 G5s can go into the PBs early next year.
You know, just because the laptop section of the Apple booth is currently under wraps doesn't mean the updates have to be exciting or even in the keynote. They have to cover them up no matter what, even if they're lame.
Clear as silt.
BTW, what is "BT" in your specs, Kasper? I know it should be obvious, but I'm missing it.

Ugh. If the 7447s are in there, I'll probably go with my old quote on the current 1GHz SD model. Jeez, wonder if I can still get one? That would well and truly suck. I really wanted the faster bus and larger cache.

BlueTooth...
Like I said. Please don't take these as fact. Once again: AppleInsider (or myself) are in no way vouching for the authenticity of these. They are here purely for your speculation purposes.
Backlit keyboard was also mentioned on the 1.25GHz but not the 1GHz. Obviously that is strange, but it may have been an oversight or poor communication. You guys only have a few more hours to wait =P
I'm hungry so I'm going to make a cheddar onion burger.

Thanks. I knew it would be a "duh" moment. Well, duh.
I had a cheeseburger a little while ago. I would have eaten three if I had had them. It's the stress, I tells ya!
Stay up or wake up early? Toss-n-turn or zombi-fied?

Mmmh, cheddar onion burger!
Seriously, Kasper, thanks for keeping us entertained during the last few hours before the Stevenote.
Now I'm not just hungry for new PowerBooks, but hungry for real food too.

What's Already In Stores: \t
Okay. I can't hold it anymore. Right now, in an Apple Store somewhere in the south (protecting a friend who works there) is a collection of the new low-end 15" PB models. They will be shipping and ready for purchase tomorrow. I'm sure this applies for all if not most of the Apple Stores. The specs on the low-end: very similar enclose to the current 17" PB's, thinner (how thin, he didn't say), up to 2GB max RAM, 64 MB VRAM, 1 GHz (1.25 GHz in the yet unavailable model -- not in his store, anyhow). He didn't get more than that off the box before they shoved them away for tomorrow. I know this guy well enough to bet my firstborn on the truth of it.

OK, so can 1.25GHz still be a 7457?
We need some kayopeptate for this stream of last-minute rumors.
Moto pokes us from behind again.

That would be inline with what that mysterious woman told me weeks ago, according to her IBM source.

Oh yeah, forgot about that story Bill. You were never able to follow up with her? Guess we'll know in a few hours.
