Apple Gives Laptops Speed Bumps

sockit2me9000 writes "Apple released their new PowerBook today. They include faster processors across the board (up to 1GHz), Radeon 9000 GPUs, and the top-of-the-line model will include a slot-loading SuperDrive. Price points remain about the same. New iBook was released as well."

Misleading Title

OK, now I get it. You mean "they bumped up the speed".

Since a "speed bump" is a bump put into the road for the purpose of slowing traffic, I figured you were reporting on a story about Apple intentionally making PowerBooks slower than they could be. I found that to be a remarkably interesting story, and it turned out to not be that story at all.

Of course, the faster processors are interesting also... anybody know if I can upgrade my PowerBook G4 550 to the faster chip? (probably not). Anyway, just thought I'd point that out.

Speed bumps?

I don't know about the general Slashdot readership, but I generally think of "speed bumps" as slow downs, not improvements.

I think, in true Simpsons fashion, the headline should have read "speed holes".
