macrumors.com has retracted that rumored. even they realize the absurdity of a 1 Ghz G4 powerbook for $1999. That crap wouldn't even be worth $1500! If it was actually true, I hope Steve gets booed and egged (it is in France after all). But …

this would be a total letdown for me. I'm not asking for a 10GHz G5 laptop, or anything, but a 1.25GHz G4 and no 12 inch PB would be just pathetic after all this waiting. Apple doesn't update its desktop machines separately, so why would it do…

I'd prefer a bike myself, but the segway is being marketed wisely IMO. They are making a profit. There's no reason to sell it cheap because they have no competition, hence no need to wage a market share war. Most new products lose money in their int…

AMEN to this thread!

i've been somewhat skeptical about PBG5 @ Paris, but now it's starting to look more and more like it

this thing seems like a cheap segway knockoff I've never ridden any of them, but it looks to me as if the easy glider would be much more uncomfortable to ride.

I have a Rev A 400Mhz TiBook and I'll gladly wait it out for a G5 PB. But I think that the new PowerBooks are gonna be G4.

that's true, but at the same time, they did change the keyboard on the 12 inch to match the aluminum color. wouldn't it have been easier to design one new keyboard and use it on the 17 and on the 12? Apple instead went out of it's way to make a grey…

macrumors.com now says Quote: Steve Jobs will be giving the keynote address at 10 a.m. CET (3 a.m. EDT) that makes it midnight pacific time. is that a typo or is that the real time? they also imply that the 12 inch PowerBooks will not hav…

Quote: Originally posted by BrunoBruin IIRC, the store gets updated immediately after the keynote. Cool! I'll be up and with my mouse over the reload button.

Quote: Originally posted by Dennis the Phantom Menace Wouldn't it be 1AM PST? ooops. my bad again I'm on a roll today. I could have sworn that I had also read somewhere that the G5 had 5 times as many transistors as the G4, but that's no…

It's gonna be 1AM[edit] here on the west coast when the keynote starts. If new PowerBooks are announced at the keynote, are they likely to be available at store.apple.com soon after Steve lets the rat out of the hat, or will Apple update store.appl…

Quote: Originally posted by Smircle Sorry, but you are utterly wrong. Actually, the 7457 has 58 mio transistors, the 970 "only" 52 mio. Moto specs (see page 10). IBM press release. My bad. In that case I take back what I said about not …

i would rather have a G4 with a longer battery life, less heat and smaller size than a G5 PB. even if you underclock a G5 to 1GHz, the die shrink on it is still .13 microns, same as the 7457, but the G5 has about 5 times as many transistors, so …

what's up with those powerpage.org posts. they don't make any sense to me. and hasn't apple already told resellers that new powerbooks will be out and shipping next week, so why are people taking powerpage seriously? the info from powerpage s…

Quote: Originally posted by Rolo Let's just hope there are enough of the 15" AlBooks to meet demand. Of course they won't.
