One more G4 for the PowerBook?
PurdueGraphicsMan writes "Much as we'd love to see the next PowerBook revision include a processor evolution to the mighty G5, we know it's not that simple. The Register provides some sound reasoning (and boatloads of model numbers and voltage specs) as to why we'll probably see a 1.5GHz G4 PowerBook before any G5 PowerBooks materialize." I don't want a G5 on my lap anyway. It'd make me feel guilty, having that much power in a small package while other people can't even get it in a PC tower. Oh, and I don't want to burn my lap.
It's a different way of working; not necessarily better or worse. For me, it feels right.
Control clicking can be argued one way or another (I personally hate it, especially since the ctl key on my powerbook is so damn sketchy). But I don't know how any mac user can live without a scrollwheel.
Having to install SideTrack in order to get my powerbook's trackpad to act like it does by default on XP is pretty lame.
