So the latest news that we are hearing is the the powerbooks will top out at 1 Ghz.
and that the ibook update (if there is one) will be a 13" 800 mhz powerpc G3.
does anyone else find this disappointing.
i mean im all for new powerbooks and upgrades of older systems,
but a measly 200 Mhz speed bump in a laptop that is more than a year old.
i just find this disappointing.
I mean apple has now come out with a pretty revolutionary software system that takes advantage of powerful processors to help run your power intensive applications, but without the power behind it what good is it?
all this in a laptop that will still probably top out at what $3500?
i mean i just feel that with the lagging speeds of the G4 it will be harder and harder to compete with X86 units when they at least double in the same amount of time.
add in the fact that we probably won't even see the "G5" until what 9 months at the very very earliest?
okay im just ranting now, but thoughts?
