in theory.

i would almost buy a powermac if i can... mainly because i'm crazy and want the case

 

[everman]

Very nice, I'll probably get one of these in a couple months or so...Depending if they release an updated version around summer or not?

15.4" screen... was hoping for something smaller

 

[James3shin]

[speg]

I wonder if there will be different models.... YEEHAW!

 

[Quasmo]

I love how 1 processor = 2-3 x faster and 2 processors = 4-5 times faster

 

[ElFenix]

15.4"

i bet they'll differentiate based on macbook and macbook pro now, rather than ibook and powerbook. difference will be dual core amongst other things

Perhaps because it's no longer PowerPC based?

wtf were they selling before??? snails?

Uh single core G4's, so basically, yeah. Dual Core PIV vs Single Core G4. Yeah I can say Apple is pretty truthful with the 4-5x faster statement.

Uh are you talking about the Imac, its dual core too and is 2-3x faster than a G5, the MacBook is 4-5x faster than a G4.

Yikes - $2000 - Where's the MacBook (nonpro!)

 

[bingsoo]

Was hoping they would be cheaper...

 

[Quasmo]

[GTaudiophile]

Did Apple pioneer the hard launch? I mean, did nVidia follow their lead? Apple will have all of this stuff ready to order on the Apple.com store as soon as his speech is finished.

 

[ElFenix]

wow pricey

No no. Where is the 13.3" MacBook Pro. I don't want a 5.6lbs behemoth.

Pricey but in line with the announced costs of other dual core notebooks.
