Quote: Originally posted by pscates Are we 100% sure there even IS a 15" aluminum PowerBook waiting in the wings? I mean we've had Jack from Macwhispers being shown to be totally full of it. FWIW, Jack's the only one I'm seeing that the moment…

Doesn't make sense to me that Apple would sell iBooks that are both cheaper and more powerful than the low-end PowerBooks. And what happened to the 12" PB? Also, wasn't "Good, better, best" dropped a while back? It, to some extent, trivialises th…

The iBook/PowerBook thing illustrates the fact that Apple's marketing is somewhat dysfunctional at the moment, largely for historical reasons. The iBook came out at a time when the original iMac was selling strongly. Both the iMac and iBook were …

Quote: Originally posted by shetline For months there have been rumors about the next 15" PowerBook that haven't panned out. This makes me wonder about a couple of things I've heard about the next ~15" display: 15.4": Why is this 0.2" increase…

It's more drastic than that. My sources tell me they're considering sweeping changes across the product line to deal with the problems generated when two products have slightly overlapping markets. What I heard was that they're planning to drop t…

Quote: Originally posted by imacman287 I have been waiting for the PowerBook G4 15" Al but..... A small piece of me died today, I cracked and bought a IBM ThinkPad T40. I have been waiting since May for an updated PowerBook, with $3,000 in my …

Look, it's quite simple: the damage that's been done to Bush's re-election chances is irreversable, there's quite simply no way anyone will vote for him with the missing 15.4" Al PowerBooks. Had these been found this week, he might have stood a c…

Quote: Originally posted by Anonymous Karma Of course, you can go ahead and try, but look forward to running 8.1 like it was on a 6100 Good points (well, except for the Thinkpad, the only "bad" part of a Thinkpad is the Wintel arch IMNSHO.…

You know, I wonder if now's the time to write that PowerPC emulator I've wanted to have a stab at. I mean, there are some really nice Thinkpads, and if anything, I prefer them to what Apple's producing (if only because I don't like trackpads much), …

Quote: Originally posted by shetline Aren't people making too big a deal out of when the Apple store is up or down? I'm not sure I'm remembering this correctly, but wasn't it only sometime during or after the WWDC G5 keynote that the store went d…

Quote: Originally posted by audiopollution Check the Page 2 news at MacRumors. http://page2.macrumors.com/ Supposedly resellers have been asked to remove all current powerbook banners for tomorrow. Actually MacRumors just says the 12" a…

Quote: Originally posted by *l++ ThinkSecret reports that the Apple Booth is wide open and unmasked at MacWorld. This really bodes badly for new Powerbooks this week. If the upgrade is just incremental - minor screen size change, aluminium c…

Quote: Originally posted by Rolo Jeez, I hope we don't have to wait until Paris for new PBs and I hope MacWhispers is wrong about updated TiBooks. No, please, not that! It could be that Jack's just trying to be overly pessmistic after bei…

14" PowerBook? Pah, I'm still waiting for the 17" iPod...

Assuming the PBs are as seems obvious - ie a 15.4" semiwidescreen aluminium PowerBook with a not particularly dramatic speedbump (if we were talking about something radical here, I'm sure Jobs would be announcing it, but the only thing that appears …

Quote: Originally posted by cubist Don't think so. $300 maybe, but not an Intel processor, a VIA C3 or something like that. Run Lindows on it, and it's not a bad grandma machine. Not a computer I'd want, though. I suggest you get Grandma a …

Quote: Originally posted by AirSluf What happened to the leak? How about there never was any leak, just a bozo making up something plausible and name dropping enough to set the hook. It wasn't just MacWhispers, El Reg carried a story from Di…

I'd like a 12" with a higher resolution screen (and maybe wider at the expensive of higher) - 1024x768 really isn't a good way to see OS X at its best, and wide screen is great for a laptop. But really, above all else, I want a nipple. Yeah, I kn…

Ok, as everyone's quoting C|Net's take... (you can tell mine is real though from the cliche in the second paragraph) Quote: From C|Net: Apple unveils Future of PowerBooks, iBooks Industry in shock as Apple declares "Market filled" Speaking …
