New Ibooks And Powerbooks


Recommended Posts

what do u expect will be featured in the new powerbooks and ibooks that are rumored to be coming out as early as this week, some sites are saying that there will be a price drop and speed boost, but it will have to be more than just a speed boost to woo ppl to the powerbook of course ;)

i would like to see a gig of ram max for the ibook (if its possible) and 1.5 or 2 gigs max for the powerbook, it would be pretty sweet.

At powerpage.org they were showing what will be featured in the upcoming ibook update...

damn, i just wish apple could keep up their CPU speeds with the rest of them.

i know that the G4 processor has faster architecture than the P4 or AMD stuff, but other people just don't see that.

oh well, i'm a windows user anyway.

Well, considering a lowend mac desktop is a dual 867mhz, aka a 1.75 ghz machine. I think they're doing fine Ghz to Ghz wise :)

I think the iBook looks even better now. I can't wait until they get some refurb machines in :D

To be honest fellas, Apple is hangin by a thread anymore. It will take a lot to get even close to AMD and Intel.

think again mate. :happy:

i've been planning to buy a Powerbook before christmas but the iBook looks like a bargain now. so what do i get man.. powerbook?ibook?powerbook?ibook?

iBook is a little bit girlish imo.. but Powerbook is relatively extremely expensive compared to the new iBook. :( :cry: :wacko: :cry: :( :no:

ibook's now back on my list :p lol....800 mhz makes it sound sweet :s lol...

    • The helicopter is still in the top left corner, thats all that matters.
    • Kind of glad I upgraded to S26 Ultra 1TB this year, with trade-in and discounts it cost me €1199, that's only €119 more than the S23 Ultra (256 GB) cost me. Last time I bought it via my phone provider outright with committing to two years, now via Samsung.com I reckon the S27 series will be more expensive too.
