So has anyone heard about these updates that apple scheduled to announce this afternoon? I heard mention of duel channel ddr2 included with the new computers. I am in the midst of purchasing a powerbook as soon as possible but I'm not sure if I should wait. Waiting kind of makes me nervous as I know that I can get by with a time-tested machine at a cost that I can afford. Maybe I could get a word on if I should wait to purchase or not. Does this mean the current powerbooks will disapear? My student discount is good only through the applestore!

In fact our friends from macbidouille/hardmac found out there's a G5 chip suitable for a laptop since july, but maybe the power is not interesting regarding the current G4 offerings (altivec is better in G4 chips, but G5 can have frequencies going higher up).
First we don't know when the macintel laptop will come in, we only know the first macintel will be in June 06, but which ones… -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
