chmsant Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm hoping for price drops all around on most hardware..... that would be enough for me!

dougal.s Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Apple tends to keep the prices the same and change the specs of the hardware. Am going to buy my new iBook today! Wheee!! Looking forward to see what the iPod flash actually appears as. Dougal.

radioboy Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 There really wouldn't be much point in adding another screen size to the PowerBook lineup. There are already 4 sizes when you include the iBooks (2 at 12", 14", 15", and 17"). 585202549[/snapback] yes but 13.3" would create a super-small widescreen powerbook Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/262689-mwsf-2005-what-do-you-expect/page/2/#findComment-585204293 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apex. Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Well i reckon the eMac will be phased out and replaced by this "iMac micro" because as it transpires, there isnt much of a demand for eMacs anymore. Thus canging the name from Edu-Mac, to Eco-Mac. Makes sense... i guess...

SonComet Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I agree a 13.3" widescreen powerbook to replace the 12" powerbook would be amazing. I know people who are in love with the sony (including me), and if the powerbook gained the same aspect ratio and resolution it would rock. I am still hoping the 15:10 15.2" powerbook switches to a 16:10 15.4" lcd that gives options for 1280x768, 1680x1050, and 1920x1200. 1680x1050 is a perfect resolution for a 15" widescreen laptop.

XP_01 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 - eMac G5 - Q88 aka headless iMac - Flash card based iPod Mini - iPod Mini 5 GB - Powered iPod speakers - Mac OS X 10.4 -> hopefully a extended feature list - iLife '05 - iWork '05 - The usual updates for excising hardware. I don't think it's likely that they'll introduce an iBook/PowerBook G5 :shifty: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/262689-mwsf-2005-what-do-you-expect/page/2/#findComment-585211441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstroud Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I doubt we'll see an eMac G5, maybe just a speed bump. They really really need to change the Powerbook, and they're soooo far away from an iBook G5 it's not even funny.

How would you feel if you paid $1500 for an iMac then a fortnight later they speed bumped it. It's just worth waiting.

abrooks Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Here's what I think; headless iMac for around $599. Flash iPod, possibly a new product line but it may replace the iPod Mini. Keynote 2, it need of an update. iWorks (Appleworks 7), if this happens at all it will either be a preview and due to be released with Tiger or it will be released before hand. Asteroid, the audio breakout box that has caused so much trouble. As for anything else, this is already quite a lot of stuff, and if Apple give there products speed bumps they don't usually announce it at big events, makes me think that Apple have something up there sleeves for the Powerbook...

XiXora Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 i agree with the screen resolution! i have a laptop with 12" svga+ (1400x1050) screen and its beautiful. only reason i want a 15" pb is because of its resolution Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/262689-mwsf-2005-what-do-you-expect/page/2/#findComment-585216318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
