PowerBook Updates. When?


Recommended Posts

I believe people are expecting G5 on PB, not just some G4 updat:):)

I hope so too! I think the next updates will include the Aluminum Form Factor and a G5 processor!

Soon as they refresh them I'm buying a 12 inch powerbook :yes:

I'm not gonna wait for the G5s probably I need a laptop for school

A backlit keyboard would be cool as would a better graphics card but heh, I need to stop playing games and start working :pinch:

Ooooo, let me gaze into my crystal ball..........

hehe, Apple's kinda frustrating when it comes to upgrade cycles. But then again, it's cool. I just want an iBook really bad.

a similar story like that is also at macrumors.net

The story on Macrumors is just a posting of what appleinsider said. And if anyone is expecting a G5 pb anytime soon, they'll be sorely disappointed. Jan 05 at the earliest. Imacs may get the G5 sooner, but I really doubt it. If you've seen the cooling that the new xserves have to do, you'll know why.

how do you know whether or not it's a typ:unsure:e:

because the 4 & 5 are on the keyboard next to each other. having an entire graphic come up that leaks specs is a leak. one letter is a typo. besides, i would have hoped a rumor site would have caught onto g5 pbook's the instant someone had it.

Yes, it's a typo. I highly doubt we'll see G5 PowerBooks anytime soon. Having "PowerBook G4" misspelled once in the whole Apple Site does not qualify as a "leak" in my book. Besides, it could just be some webmaster at Apple having fun. :p

didn't they make the sammistakei> on PMac last time too?:blink:k:

It was a much biggemistakei>, with specs and all;);)

And I would think Steve Jobs wants to announce the PowerBook G5's at a big event such as WWDC or MWSF.

It was a much bigger mistake, with specs and all ;)

yes, wwdc seems to be the time for big hardware updates... 3ghz pmac's, powerbook g5's... still, probably wouldn't ship until august or september.

I'm getting the following error when I try to access the Order Status of my iPod mini:

Apple's Online and phone Order Status services are temporarily unavailable due to a scheduled upgrade to our systems.

I saw the same "error" the night before the eMac Updates.

Hopefully there will be PowerBook Updates tomorrow :D.
