  • Nice lineup, BenRoethig. It makes so much sense there's no way Apple would do it. A couple of things I'd change would be get rid of one of the 5 1/4" bays, and add a Firewire 800 port. I suspect that you wouldn't see an integrated card reader,…

  • I already bought a dual 1.8 Powermac several weeks ago, so I'm not in the market right now, but that's not going to prevent me from chiming in... 8) I think that if you're in the market for a Powermac, or an iMac, go for it. I don't think the p…

    in Next Powermac to have Intel and PPC inside ? Comment by gamblor June 2005
  • Hannibal over at Ars has an article about this whole business. He confirms that the mini is going to get it first (by quoting Teh Steve as saying so during the keynote). He also implies the mini will be getting Yonah-- which is... WOW. The mini w…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Voxapps Apple used the name "PowerBook" long before there was a PowerPC processor. Yeah, that's true. That's a pretty good argument for the names sticking around. Besides, they've got good brand recognition with …

  • presumably, they'll use EFI. How Apple plans on keeping people from loading OS X on run-of-the mill PC hardware is anyone's guess... The built-in DRM on new Pentiums is a likely method.
    in 'Mactel' Hardware - New Architecture Or PC Box? Comment by gamblor June 2005
  • I think the possibility is strong that Apple will revamp their flagship lines first-- the Powermac & Powerbook, simultaneously. That makes the most sense to me. Also, expect a name change... "Power" doesn't mean what it once did...

    in Why new Powermac's so slow! Comment by gamblor April 2005
  • It could also be that in all of the improvements that IBM has been able to squeeze out of their 90nm process they've also improved their yields of faster parts. Who knows-- maybe they are actually getting yields of 3GHz parts! …
