PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped
Currawong writes "Apple has, as rumors predicted, speed bumped its line of portables. The PowerBooks now come in 1.33 and 1.5Ghz G4 versions, including either NVidia 5200's or Radeon 9700 video hardware. The iBooks can now be had at 1 or 1.2Ghz with Radeon 9200 video included. All can be purchased at the Apple Store. This complements nicely the recent speed and feature increases on the eMac range."
thats life.
do you hear people bitch and complain when their other laptops become old tech after 6 months?
I am the Alpha and the Omega-3
It means that they've BUMPed up the speed again. Perhaps getting a life or some other hobbies might help you out here.
I'd hate to hear what you think when you hear "driveway" or "parkway". I can imagine tons of little children being crushed under the tires of your car, because you're so stupid you take everything literally.
Yeah, sure, most people have absolutely no need to use the most popular digital music player of the world.
100% correct.
How many iPods have sold (ever) and how many PC laptops have been sold? Are you starting to see there is a world beyond your little myopic Apple fan club?
Even if they didn't get firewire, they can still use the USB 2.0 dock. Or, if they are one of the few who do need firewire, they can easily select a laptop with firewire. It's called "choice," something you are probably not familliar with as a Mac user.
Nobody needs FireWire anyway, 'cause USB is faster.
Gee, why did you want me to say that? I could have said something very enlightening!
All things being equal, or even somewhat unequal, we'd rather drive Macs than WinPCs. We think they are a better value, we think they are a better machine, we think they look better than even most case mods and we think they run the superior OS. It will take pretty damn earthshaking evidence to the contrary to change my mind. It does what I want to do better than a WinPC and I like it so much better. Stop arguing with us.
Yeah, I guess I'm funny like that.
