    Now that the G5 Power Mac is out, does anybody know anything about a possible G5 Power Book?

    prolly not gonna be for a little while.

    heat, ventilation, and energy supply have been the major reasons that i've read so far that are holding down the G5 laptop, but who knows.

    for gods sake, back in JANUARY ole steve-o said this was the year of the laptop, which i think is one of the biggest marketing gimics i've ever heard.

    since that redunkulous year of the laptop quote (again, nine months ago), apple introduced the 17 inch and 12 inch powerbook, and bumped up the speed in the iBooks by a hundred mhz. that's it.


    steve is to give the keynote at the euro apple expo in september, so hopefully we'll hear something about powerbooks and the new OS Panther.

    also keep in mind the G4 tower was built in 1999, it took til Jan 2001 before the G4 Titanium powerbook was introduced.

    naw, for all the same reasons as erova just stated and the fact that the current G5's are not optimized nor on smaller fabs. yet.
