re: Solo vs Duo in iBook, from the new Intel pricelist: http://www.intel.com/intel/finance/pricelist/ there will only be a US$32 difference between Duo and Solo @ 1.67 Ghz. Marketing-wise, Apple will probably go Solo (differentiate from Pro), b…

Agreed that this one is pretty innocuous, but the key take-home is that someone is finally trying to write OS X viruses. This could be a tip of an iceberg of attempts going fwd. Hopefully the Apple security team takes this shot across the bow se…

It's not the worst product name I've heard, and it does make logical sense. But I agree that it sounds blunt and staccato, vs the more melodic "Powerbook." I liked Macintel more (sound-wise), but that moniker would represent the entire line vs a…

re: Superdrive comparison, stats below from Apple site today. PB drive is definitely better. Probably Apple quietly cutting component costs to maintain margin with the new chips. Remember that the G4 has been out for a while, so is probably much …

well, if intel imac comes before your birthday, you can probably still get the last PPC imac, and cheap. ie: used, or via clearance. and at that point, you'll be able to compare it to the intel version, and determine whether your concerns are va…

Does anyone have stats on the current 1.67 mhz G4 power consumption? If I'm reading this Freescale datasheet correctly, it looks like a 7447A at max dissipation would be in the high 20s wattage. If so, this is comparable to the 15-24W quoted fo…

Quote: Originally posted by Towel I really hope Apple doesn't decide to save all the dual cores for PB's, despite the measely $30 (and for Apple, even smaller) difference. In the chart you posted, both low-voltage chips are dual core. the U?l…

re: Games, once the first Macintels get released, I expect there will be both more pressure and incentive to release compatible apps. The question is essentially: can you handle several months of Rosetta dependence and "first rev" risk to be part o…
