From my experience, the speakers on the PBs are still way ahead of those on the iBooks. My 12" PB revA still sounds pretty good, although obviously a bit tinny. Certainly if the sound is all the way up, you could maybe listen comfortably from a …

Yep. Actually the interview kind of indicated to me that M$ maybe are looking to stealth a HD-DVD type drive in there before it is done... Hmmmm.....? (And there goes Ballmer again, insinuating that all iPod owners have majoritively illegal so…

Quote: Originally posted by opuscroakus Did we ever have any firm data on the prices Apple was paying for the 970 chips? I find it hard to believe that Apple will be paying more per chip for an Intel offering (which almost everyone else will be …

Quote: Originally posted by Mithras I think the prices will have to drop. If it was hard to justify a base price of $2000 before, it will be even more so when we'll be able to directly compare the components of a Mactel to an all-but-identical Wi…
