How long until online stores (amazon.com, specifically) have these in stock? Amazon's rebate offer expires on Wednesday, any chance that they would be available there before it expires?
I have seen rumors of the G5 production and heard of the heat issues but...
who knows.
prob. just a speedbump.
we can dream! What time do Apple make these press releases, they seemed to make the iTunes 250 million at 2:25 in the UK, that's about 6:25 PST. Is that normal?
If it's a G5 i will strip naked and run through the streets naked........
So what do I hope for now?! Just teasing, I really don't think it's likely but it would be soo cool. How come the FSB are so low? My iMac G3 has 100MHz FSB and that's just slower than the iBooks.
I feel much better knowing i'm not the only one debating which mac to buy. I think I will get the powerbook G4 this week or next also. It will be my first mac which will be my own ( my ibook belongs to work) so I'm really exicited to buy one. I'm done with pc's !
Thinking about it, it's the 167MHz Bus that really bothers me. Have you noticed how on the PowerMac website it slags of the G4. Not very good marketing when half the computers they sell use it. I would love an Imac G5, very beautiful, but I want portability, BUT I want a G5. AAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Faster than ever, PowerBook G4 computers all feature PowerPC G4 processors that provide robust performance for complex multimedia or data intensive applications. The 15-inch and 17-inch models boast processor speeds of up to 1.5GHz, and the 12-inch model now offers speedier performance with its 1.33GHz processor and new 1.67MHz system bus.
1.67? isn't that the new processor speed - that makes the bus look even worse!!!

so why are there rumors of a 1.67GHz PowerBook and not a G5?! If it was a G5 it would be amazing! I want to see a faster FSB, but the same form factor

Good thing it's the year of HD.
Not that size matters or anything...

on a more technical note: 167 bus is horrible...... any chance of this changing tomorrow?

I'm so sure it won't be a g5 that if it is I will have a video of my refreshing run in the streets of Philly..........

it's the same chip so i doubt it, the new dual core apparently use 200MHZ - not a lot better. What does the FSB actually do?
