Apple Marketing Hypes New PowerMacs

Posted by michael on from the feeding-frenzy dept.

Wacky_Wookie was only one of many who wrote in with a mention of Apple's "leak" of specifications for a new line of PowerMacs to be dubbed "G5", apparently running the new PowerPC 970 CPUs. No offense, but anyone who thinks it was a mistake or leak doesn't understand marketing. :) Update by J : In case those linked sites get taken down too, try MacNN.

    For the millionth time, build your own is not the competition for Apple. It never has been. Build your own machines are for people with entirely different wallets and lifestyle decisions. I can build my own if I wanted to. I just don't want to. That's why I'll end up buying a name brand whether it's x86 or PPC.

    You obviously don't see the value in that. Go play in your own market segment.
