  • LOL, there's no way a G5 PowerMac could ever be sold that cheaply from Apple. If the G5s are 64-bit CPUs, PowerMac prices will likely INCREASE a tad in price. If they're 32, they will probbaly stay where they are now. With the iMac and PowerMacs…

  • It will be interesting to see whether or not Apple will offer an older CRT model with the old design (similar to the 533 MHz G4 they offer now to education with the old case design) or if they will just sell a $799 LCD model with CD-ROM, 16 MB graph…
    in AppleInsider Reports - analysis Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • Either way, nobody knows. There is no proof that Apple had anything to do with it, and there is no proof that we will see a PowerMac G5 in January. Just remember that feeling you had when the G4s came at Seybold.... yeah... you know what I mean.

  • Macmedia writes: "Ok, someone answer me this. When the first G4 was announced at Seybold back in '99, when diid Motorola "pre-announce" the production of this chip (or did they?)" I don't remember Motorola pre-announcing the chip. I even remem…
    in Motorola confirms Apollo for early 2002 Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Motorola wait to officially announce the original G4 until Apple announced it in the PowerMacs? This could be the same situation with the G5. I can see Moto and IBM announcing details on CPU upgrades (like 7410-74…

  • Nah, 867 and 800 are too close together. I'd say maybe 733 and 867. That is a more realistic gap.
    in iBook speed bump at MWTK? Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • If we look at Apple's recent product launches. (Aside from iPod), there is an emering pattern of addressing the desktop and notebook lines separately. For example, MWNY was desktop focused, while Apple then refreshed the notebook line in October. …

  • Thanks guys. At least some people here actually take the time to read posts thoroughly.
    in Inside info about the new iMac Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • MIke Eggleston writes" "Get real. I would see one in a Pro system before they made it into the consumer level machines." Hmm. Well how do we know it won't show up in the new PowerMacs as well?? Or it could be like USB was with the iMac in 19…
    in Inside info about the new iMac Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • JD, I completely agree. Ever since I first heard of the Apollo and G5 CPUs, this is the speed balance between the iMac and PowerMac that I had envisioned. I can't believe that some people are so closed minded that they assume the Apollo will go into…
    in Apple's next generation desktops and their balance of power Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • That's because the G5 processor (8540) that Motorola outlined will not be used in any Apple products. It is mainly meant for network applications, thus there is no need for AltiVec.
    in HOLY @#$&!! CNN reports G5 powermac! Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • I used to be the Mac Rep at my local Comp USA, and that post about the manager knowing is total BS. Comp USA gets their system specs through their main computers/point-of-sales network, and the newest Macs only appear in the system until AFTER they …
    in Your revised MWSF predictions Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • No, I'm not kidding at all. I'm just optimistic. Let me revise that though, since I really don't know the pricing scheme of the 7460 compared to the 7450. I was under the impression these things were going to be cheaper and cooler than the 7450. Kin…

    in Your revised MWSF predictions Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • Sorry, but Apple isn't going to downgrade the iMac HD sizes... I'd expect 40,60,80 in the iMac, and 60,80, 100 in the PowerMac.
    in Your revised MWSF predictions Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • I dunno, I'm thinking that Jobs will want to really show off the G5's performance and do some serious bakeoffs, as well as discuss Gigawire and any other new technologies. Then he will pull a "one more thing" and wow everyone with the new iMac, whic…

    in Fantasy MWSF Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • I'm gonna address that Moto guy's G4 statement where he said something along the lines of "The G4 still has a lot of life left in it." Ok, when the original iMac came out, Apple really stressed how it didn't use yesterday's technology since it ut…
    in It's official: no G5 Comment by tarbash December 2001
  • Hmm. Mass production of 7460s -> to ship in LCD iMacs, shipping at MWSF. Test run of PowerMac G5s on Dec. 14 -> to ship officially at MWT (but announced at MWSF).... That's an idea. [ 12-06-2001: Message edited by: Tar…
