Jonathan Ive is gonna be working like a madman to cool those puppies down, Dual G5 Pbooks ?? God ... someone's gonna burn their laps.

I heard the dual processor pbooks too

another rumor is that they might release a dual g4 powerbook if they cant cool the g5...

but in the mean time, we'll have some bumps.

there is NINE fans in the g5
there is talk about liquid cooled portables....

I'm betting that they don't know yet. The cooling issue forced Apple to put 5 fans in different zones on the towers, so the powerbook issue is a tough one. I'm betting they still want that 1" thickness too.

My guess is that with this and the TiG4 buyback, we're not going to see a PBG5 until September.

prices will be the same. and apple has never announced a machine in december. this year is pretty much out. i wouldn't expect one until next january. july would be sweet, but very unlikely.

I can't decide if they will be complely replacing the existing powerbook line or not..If they do the prices should be the same. I will bet the laptops will run at 1.6, 1.8 and 2ghz as the next desktops will all be above 2ghz and the top end will proably be 2.6. But thats complete speculation i can't wait to see though!

I'll bet $5 on them coming out after MacWorld Boston in July.

what do you suppose the powerbooks will cost?
- murmer0
Sometime this year i bet.. I will put a solid $5 on December.
New G5 towers end of the month or sometime next.
