  • Quote: Originally posted by swizzmac But maybe we will see a iTMS/France or even an iTMS/half-europe. If Apple covers France, Germany, UK and Italy, it has about 80% of the european market. That would be a start... Grüezi! You forgot one mar…

  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave Ideally, I'd like to see 1440x900 on the 15" and 1680x1050 on the 17". That, for me would be the perfect choice, and I'd have a hard time deciding between the two. Same here. What I won't have a hard time de…
    in What about 1680 x 1050 Pixel on 15.4" for new PowerBook Comment by philby August 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Matsu Apple argues that for more pixels to actually be useable, they need to be on a bigger screen. I agree. And that if that screen size/pixel count is the top priority, then portability will of neccessity be compri…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Joecool I think it's safe to say people, that new PowerBooks are on their way. I would think Paris is the scene and shipping immediately on announcement. Let's hope so ? I'll be there, and want to see the new PowerB…

    in Is the 15inch AlPB really coming soon? Comment by philby August 2003
  • How high do you folks rate the possibility of Apple delivering a top-performance GPU for the top $ it asks for the PowerBooks? Maybe a nVidia GeForce FX GO 5600 in a hypothetical new 1.x GHz 17" PB, so at least the GPU would measure up to those Cen…
    in What 15" G4Ti replacement will Apple announce next Tuesday? Comment by philby August 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Powerdoc (snip) The 7457 is an old design on a new fabbing process. This chip will be used by Apple during the one year transition. New powerbook and i mac reaching 1,3 ghz will be showed at Paris. It seems that M…

  • Quote: Originally posted by rok (snip) ... but to say that vpc under os x is "almost unusable on a dual gigger" utterly baffles me, based on my experience. Same here. I use VPC -- on my on a TiBook 800 w. 1GB RAM -- with win98, 2k and XP to…
    in G5 Virtual PC Comment by philby July 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by hasapi The point is Apple's PB's are now falling behind PC's in price/performance for P4's at 2.4-2.8GHz. Try Pentium-M @ 1.6 GHz or Dothan @ 1.8 GHz @ 90nm, and the G4 will be simply left somewhere in the dust, pe…
    in If powerbooks don't come by september... Comment by philby July 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon 1.3 G4s probably don't look too bad against low mhz Centrinos. With heavy emphasis on probably, too and low mhz. Looks like I'll have to keep using my soundless (broken MB) TiBook 800 for a while.
    in IGM: Moto Delays In Chips Mean New PBs In Late August? Comment by philby July 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Existence The 1.3GHz Centrino is the absolute low-end and can be found in "thin&light" laptops under $1200. Centrinos go up to 1.7GHz and will soon speed past 2GHz with 1MB L2 cache with "Dothan" fabbed at 90 nm la…

  • Quote: Originally posted by synp While it is true that MHz for MHz the P4-M is faster than regular P4, Not to be picky, but you certainly meant to say "MHz for MHz the PM (Pentium Mobile) is faster than regular P4-M (Pentium 4 Mobile)"? The …

  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker DVD-RW and DVD+RW are totally different formats, but you can read DVD+RW on a superdrive. The next Pioneer DVD-R drive will also write DVD+R. Whether Apple (or Toast) will support it in OSX is another qu…

  • Quote: Originally posted by moki I don't agree. I've shopped for Wintel laptops, then they fall into two categories: tiny and underpowered or huge, heavy, powerful, but with dismal battery life. The mix of features you get from Apple's PowerBoo…

  • Quote: Originally posted by moki Yes, it's a given at WWDC (or thereabouts) but next year, not this year. While I think you're almost certainly right about this, it still makes for a rather meek "Year of the PowerBook", especially comparing t…
