  • Quote: Originally posted by THT I'm not arguing with here, if you haven't noticed. Yes, laptops using desktop CPUs are luggables and aren't suited for mobile use. What I keep on saying is that there is a market for luggables, and Apple should be …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Stoo If the 7448 starts at 1.6GHz and has a couple of speed bins above that, it'll be fine. That was my first thought when i read the article. 1.7-1.8G is more like apple's realism, I doubt the 2G that's been proph…
  • I posted this when the PB got the 1.5G - which is good, but Intel's Dothan is a G5 'class' chip. I dont know how many Dothan laptops exist - I think the chip is expensive - interestingly the G4 1.5 performs quite well against the Banias Pentium M…
  • Quote: Originally posted by cory i think if they do a powerbook update in October/Nov its gonna be something small. Im defaintnly not thinking the G5 update will be then. I have a powerbook G4 15" 1.25 and its great.. all the apps run pretty dang…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla Please do explain how demand > supply is NOT the same thing as having component shortages (i.e., not enough supply of components for your demand)? Im under NDA - so I cannot discuss this in any deta…
  • Quote: Originally posted by lawrenceg I owned a rev a 17" powerbook and although I loved it to bits when working at a desk, I didn't feel right on my lap and was a bit of a pain to carry around. I'm going to buy a 15" this time, only problem i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla Actually iPod Mini was not a DELAY but a fortunate condition of demand WAY outstripping supply. Yes but if you can only make 1/10th of the demand - is it really the mini or is it because of components.…
  • Im more excited about seeing a faster G4 for the current crop of G4 Macs - particularly the PB. Id like to see 2G 7447A's but that's optimistic, at least a 1.7-1.8G PB allows for the eMac/ibooks to be updated. Who knows we just might see dual …
  • VoIP has got to be the 'next big thing', I would not be suprised to see Apple have a device ready for this market. Its possible that this technology could well save the PDA from oblivion, I would buy a Clie TH55 with VoIP!.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Fat Freddy Look at the power dissipation of the MPC7447. Bring it down to 90nm, add RIO and a memory-controller on it... 25W at 2GHzis not going to happen, Dual-Core less than ever. You know MOSR? Don't ge…
  • Any ideas on timing of the refresh?, I have budget from the 1st September, and I was resigned to a 1.5G PB. The 2G sounds MUCH better - but MWSF (JAN 05) does not. Here's hoping.....
  • Quote: Originally posted by Matsu However, I don't see consumers buying 799-999 eMacs when an iMac can and should be available at 999, with a G5. Why not keep the eMac for special edu orders only, not available to public?, whereby, the imac G…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jouster Well, it just came off a terrific quarter. Why would Apple mess with it after 180,000 sales? Because edu administrators can get fast LCD Dull's for less money that's why, nobody disputes the eMac is great v…
  • Nice one Matsu!, no need to produce a completely seperate machine - I think that a 20" model should be included, since the corporation gets better gross profits on these bundles. I hope this might improve the battle against Dull for edu marketsha…
  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker I think it's fantastic that Apple is giving us news on upcoming products BTW. Yeh, thank god the Apple Exec's have large stock options, with the threat of analysts slamming the short term forecasts - gee i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison The iPod is too fragile and being that it's portable in nature it is lightweight and too small to read. What many of us are looking for is something like this. 1.A Set Top Box(STB) device that integra…
  • Quote: Originally posted by The One to Rescue More affordable? Not for the iMac line IMO... think eMac! Reasonably upgradable? Steve Jobs has always been against upgradability in consumer computers, so I guess the answer will be no. That's h…
  • Quote: Originally posted by The One to Rescue 20" at $1799 is a little fishy... the display itself is sold $1299 (though it's not the same display quality). But yes, why not! On that note, the Video Cards have to have acceptable Options and/…
  • What happened to the 20" iMac model?. The 17" combo model will be the bottom where the 15" was. The thing is will the bottom 17" be cheaper than the current 15" - because with Dell's aggressive pricing it may need to be. And I doubt Apple wi…
  • Quote: Originally posted by chipz I wholeheartedly agree. I am satisfied with an AIO. I don't need the oversized computer that sits under my desk. A simple machine is all I want and need. The eMac might be a nice machine, but I prefer an LCD …
