New iBooks 'Any Day Now'

Posted by timothy on from the rumorous-is-putting-it-mildly dept.

teewurstmann writes "Thinksecret reports that 'sources have confirmed that Apple's consumer laptop will receive a long overdue refresh very soon, possibly as early as this week.' They speculate that the new iBooks might have a widescreen display. I sure hope they are right! I've been waiting to buy one of those suckers for half a year now!"

    Yeah Apple totally sucks. I was trying to copy a single 15MB file from one hard drive to the other on this new dual G5. It took like over 20 minutes.

    So the logic boards might still suck, but if you have AppleCare, and back up your data regularly, you should still be set.

    So, as long as you don't mind taking in your laptop for repair 3 or 4 times over a short period and the constant risk of losing your data, it's a great laptop?

    Another one for the Loony Apple Zealot scrapbook I think.

    Also, are there any Apple fans reading that can instantly mod this post flamebait to prevent the faithful being contaminated by my heresy? Thanks in advance.
