Of course now that over millions of us anandtech members had already bought our notebook PC. We also once in a blue moon look on at our Mac counter parts.
And I was surprise, would say pleasantly surprise, that the just updated(today) new Powerbook have a Radeon9000 graphic card in it. Whats more the tiny machine have hit the milestone of ONE GIGAHERZT. OMGoodness, this in incredible isnt it? ONE GIGAHERZT and 256Lcache and 1 MB of lvl3 cache.
Also configurable is a SUPER DRIVE in a notebook that is 1inch thick and only 5.4 pound.
The only thing I am not clear about is whether the screen is XGA, SXGA or ultra sharp????
And no USB2.0. Otherwise this thing is a beast. Would beat any of those PentiumIII notebook out there.
Link to your next MUST have notebook
But do note that the price right now seems to be pretty hot as you can get 1GB of ram, a 1GHz G4 processor, SUPERDRIVE, 15.2inch screen, Radeon 9000, included airport card, 40 GB hard drive Gigabyte ethernet and the cute Apple form factor(1inch) for a LOW 2939 dollars.
Hot in my book. Hotter Now LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST POST.
Would someone please do a configuration at dell with a similar spec except for the processor and see how the price match up.
I just reconfigured using an account with a Local university that I am affiliated to, and I got this
1GB memory
1GHZ G4
1 Gigabyte ethernet
40GB ultra ata drive
combo drive
Airport card
MacOSX(Jaguar)
Radeon 9000
15.2inch screen
FOR 2577 only.
If you need a superdrive its another 188.
Which comes up to 2765( a saving of 174)
Also if you buy if your Amex or discover, then its another 1.5% off or 1% off.
I think you gotta add tax for all the states

Correction its actually like this
Triple 1 = 1 gigaherzt G$, 1 GB sdram and 1 gigabit ethernet)
And standard radeon9000 64mb dedicated memory, airport card, titanium shell, 56k modem, 2 usb1.0, 1 firewire and the rest of the bells and whistles)
Regular price = 2939(with 40GB drive, superdrive and triple 1)
University price = 2765(with40gb drive, superdrive)
ADC price = 2379 (with 60GB drive and superdrive and tripple 1) Need too add 99 bucks for membership
