Lowendmac don't play games, do they? If this is the real deal... One can hope it is.

    "they avoided heat issues by running a 2.0 GHz processor at 1.2 GHz."

    "It's not about clock speed," said Jonathan Ive, Apple's design guru, "it's about marketing. Even if the PowerBook G5 was no faster than the PowerBook G4, people will buy it simply because it's a G5."



    the sad truth for many people out there.

    The subtitle of the column says groundless Mac rumors and speculation. That would tend to imply that they're just making things up.

    Not often, but this column is a regular exception.



    Read it and weep.

    It's not - it's in lowendmac's rumor mill. Read the header on it - "Groundless Mac rumors and speculation by Anne Onymous".



    There are some great articles over at lowendmac, but don't ever take anything in the rumor mill seriously because it's satire.

    Ehh, it's good for a few yucks...



    On the other hand, there are some well thought out "specs". The idea of using the screen lid as a heat radiator... Hey, there's some potential there.
