To get a bit back on topic... Could someone explain to me why they don't think the G5 Powerbooks are coming soon if IBM has already gotten test yields (from what other sites say) on the 90nm 970 (or whatever you call it... the smaller die G5 chip…

Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 We had the same problem with iMac FP G4s and the PowerMac G4 from January 2002 through June 23, 2003. So I don't think Apple sees it quite the way we do. But didn't Apple have that problem because of Mo…

Quote: Originally posted by Fran441 Guys, please be reasonable. We probably won't see much hardware at MWSF at all. Instead, look for a look at the next major update of the Mac OS. Panther comes out in 2 days and the keynote will probably tou…

Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha No. No it's bloody well not. You can argue heat, power, space considerations all you want, but the one indisputable reason why the G5 will *NOT* be in a PowerBook in January is that I just received notice t…

Quote: Originally posted by Smircle OK, now we have the G4 iBook, the question of whether 750gx or G4 has been solved. Let's take a second of rememberance for the G3 - a truely astonishing CPU back in it's days. But, this raises the question a…

Quote: Originally posted by Cosmo Am i the only one who thinks there will be one more (minor) g4 upgrade for the powerbooks? Similar to the latest iBook updates, maybe 100ish mhz more to each model. No other changes other than a faster p…

Quote: Originally posted by Not Unlike Myself Modest? Not unless you mean January of '05. (IMO) How would it be January of '05 when Steve says they'll be at 3ghz by middle of 2004? Heck, we'll probably have dual Powerbook G5s by January of 05.

IBM has to be feeling really good about their progress if they have their spokesman commenting on it. They don't announce they are doing something and then blow it (like Moto).

From Macrumors: IBM is currently sampling 90 nanometer chips using SOI, and plans to ship those chips in the fourth quarter, said Scott Sykes, an IBM spokesman. Also a page 2 story at Macrumors says: "An anonymous/unverified report claims that…

I find it hard to believe that Apple would go up in price with a G5 Powerbook. Much like when they upgraded the iPods, the features (in that case the hardrive) would get better, but the price didn't move. I also don't think Apple can or will wait…

MacRumors says Powerbooks are definetly coming: " MacRumors has received further confirmation that Apple will be updating PowerBooks on Tuesday. Details are scarce, but rumors suggest 3 models with a price range from $1999 to $2999. Specific size…

Quote: Originally posted by neutrino23 I agree, Apple could come out with a very minimal update. However, all the indications are that much of the technology in the 15" PB will be updated. We'll find out this week (I hope). This is actually my…

Quote: Originally posted by satchmo I think it'll probably have that...I hope. There's so much anticipation for this release that I fear many may be let down. If it's "merely" a speed bumped 1.25 GHz G4, I wonder how many people will still hold…

Quote: Originally posted by neutrino23 Just off the top of my head... 1. The huge number of PBs sold since the introduction in August. 2. The huge number of G5s sold since the introduction in June. 3. Features of the G5 we didn't know ab…

Been awhile since anything related to when Powerbooks will actually be updated and released has been posted in this forum... No one knows anything new?

According to the latest Appleinsider news, Motorola sucks. Apple was hoping to release the Powerbook update at WWDC, then pushed it back to MacWorld NY and still hasn't seen enough supply of the new chips to release the product. Steve's got to be…

The iTrip is good if you are using it with an iPod. But what would you recommend if you wanted and FM transmitter to hook to a Powerbook? I was hoping to be able to hook one up and tune a few radios to the station in a couple rooms in my house (have…
