  • I'm still waiting for a 15" Powerbook update, however I looked at the Dual 2Ghz 970 with the Higher Edu discount pricing in the UK... Very, very compelling... £2100. Man, I am now so, so close to buying...
  • I thought fugly too when I first saw it, but having seen the pics on the applestore, I think it is a real grower. I especially like the 'mesh' front... I'm reserving actual judgement for a few more hours yet...
  • I will be very, very surprised if the G5 doesn't break cover on Monday... if it doesn't, and Steve takes to the stage, choosing not to broadcast from a secure bunker in the Cheyenne Mountain range, lives could be lost... I think we have to realis…
  • Good strategy, especially if they have immediate availabity... it would be a great strategy if Apple had Applestores outside the US where people could watch it and buy as well... In the UK we have a conglomeration of tin sheds and cowboys who cal…
  • I forgot about Junkyard Dawgs promises! :eek: No wonder he has been thin on the ground around here today...
  • I couldn't post earlier because of work, but now that I can, I have only two things to say; F*cking hell. I so want the dual 2ghz. Peace, Marc P.S. I really hope the web guy got away before the Fedayeen Steve swung into action...

  • Quote: Originally posted by pscates Guys, I think EOL can mean that particular VERSION is discontinued...not the entire damn product or line. \ If that's the case (and I'm about 98.8% sure it is), that just means the CURRENT 867MHz PowerBoo…

  • Quote: Originally posted by bih I don't understand the motive for people with real inside information to post it a newsgroup. Anyone care to explain? I personally think it just very hard on occassion to keep a secret... What good is a sec…
  • A guy in the Powerbook forum has just posted a message saying that he has been invited to the German event on the 23rd. He has noted that it is being quoted as a 'Panther Launch', but that Panther will not be the only announcement... He has pr…
  • Sounds believable to me... well alot more so than the other rumors flying about. The split in the lines sounds like a perfect solution to the Pro-sumer and Pro market issue. Time line sounds better too. Could Smaegol be a build for developers …
  • This never ever happens to me, but earlier today I got dropped a very, very big hint from a reputable source about the new 15" Powerbook coming out at the WWDC... They didn't say anything about details, and I didn't ask out of respect of the situ…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Gizzmonic No offense, but could we please have a more descriptive title for this thread? Can I change it, or does it need a Mod? If I can, tell me what you would prefer... Peace, Marc

  • I guess this counts out a 970 based 15" Powerbook then... Cheers for the heads up on this Moki...

  • Macworld UK and MacUser... Meh. All they do is cruise the rumour sites and regurgitate the same rubbish, only they have audacity charge for it...
  • Quote: Originally posted by kcmac Definitely agree AirSluf. The 15" is the sweetspot of the laptop line. It needs an update and I think it will be first in Apples laptop lineup to get the 970. When it comes out, I am trading in my 12" PB and …
