Apple Releases New PowerBook and the eMac

Posted by Hemos on from the yum-yum-gimme-some dept.

Martin Kallisti writes "Apple has released new PowerBook models whose improvements include faster processors (up to 800MHz), better resolution, 1MB of L3 cache and 32MB of video memory. Also, a new computer looking much like the old iMacs, called the eMac, has seen the light of day. It's primarily targeted at the education market, and boasts a 700MHz G4 processor and a flat 17" monitor. " As Troc pointed out in another submission, the eMac will be available only to profs/teachers, students and higher education institutions.

  1. diatribin' from the world's shittiest OS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Greetings Linux Commies. Your beloved communist OS is [haphazardly] doing my bidding, because it takes EONS to do anything on reasonably-modest hardware such as a Celeron 466 with 64MB of RAM. This piece of shit OS is swapping itself to death running ONE major task: Konqueror, a "lightweight" and "quick" web browser, of which it is neither. God, this OS is true binary diarrhea.
