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.

    Isn't the Mac a limited enough market already? What's next the Left Handed, Brown Eyed, Blonde Haired, Colorblind, Education only Mac?

    Another thing that people seem to have missed from the specs.

    Like the PowerBooks, the new eMacs can be attached to an external monitor in either Mirror or dual-monitor mode.

    Yep: a 2-monitor iMac.
