  • Okay, This thread is older than 24 hours now so let's assess what we think we know: 1. The next powerbook will either be powered by a new Motorola processor, scheduled to be released in Q4 or some variant of the 970 (which hasn't shipped yet in a…

  • Personally, what I am waiting for is the 12" model with a speed bump to at least 1GHz and DVI out for better screen real estate at my desk. I love the portability, but still want speed and optional video expandability. If they can't put that …
    in new PB: addiction or necessity Comment by vr6 July 2003

  • If apple screwed up so bad, I'd probably be able to access the apple store now. Since I can't I'm assuming some people who are bogging it down are actually purchasing a new iMac or iBook.

    in No new powermacs!! Comment by vr6 January 2002
  • This show was huge, and highlights why processor speed has very little to do with what computer you would buy. Certainly, a P4 at over 2GHz is a faster processor than anything in a Mac. However here's what you can't do on any PC regardless of pr…

  • [Major Rant Mode] sad as it is, Apple has to put the highest MHz processor it can into iMacs to get them moving. The company has this marketing strategy that, by putting the faster processors into only the pro models, continuously encourages Consu…
