Macworld to Bring Updates to Laptop Lines?
An anonymous reader writes "Reuters is reporting on the breathless anticipation that leads up to Macworld every year. Many analysts are hedging their bets that this year will bring a long overdue update to the Mac laptop family. From the article: 'We think the iBook, PowerBook, Mac Mini, and potentially Xserve are areas that are going to move to Intel first,' said Shaw Wu, an analyst at American Technology Research."
I think at this point it's pretty much common sense that something is going to be done to the ibook line with macworld occuring.. tomorrow I guess it would be (unless you're in a timezone in which it is currently monday.. in which case.. greeettiinngs frromm the paaassttt..), we know the intel switch is coming, we know they have said that they are likely to release the ibook and mini lines first with intel chips (yonah most likely it seems, that's about the only thing that would make any sense)
:o I know I'd buy one >.> (typing from my beloved 12" ibook G4).
With the keynote occuring tomorrow, it's probably time to stop repeating the speculation, or at least vary it up a little, Jobs to release iRock, a portable Steve Jobs shrine, so you can worship him in all his bald glory anywhere you go!
Can we please call any Apple branded tablet the "Applet" from now on? I want to so bad.

I think Steve Jobs will announce that Microsoft is licensing OS X to replace the plumbing in Windows Vista, and a giant kitchen sink will knonk him on the head as Bill Gates appears on the big screen behind in a Dark Helmet helmet with an girly laugh. Oh, yeah. One more thing... :P
'We think the iBook, PowerBook, Mac Mini, and potentially Xserve are areas that are going to move to Intel first,'
So, you think that Apple will switch one of it's own products to Intel first? Amazing prediction

I'm generally "Interesting," "Insightful," and even "Funny" here. What the hell happens to me at parties?

..that Steve Jobs will be wearing a rather tight black shirt of some kind.
I'm sorry. You must be new here. Usually these threads are full of speculation and wild-ass guesses, not someone reading article. Sheesh!
What about the iPod nano? You don't consider that an iPod?

iPod nano versus CD case filled with CD-R's...
Reminds me of, "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with 9-track tapes".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think, by design, your going to need windows for your requirements.
And with good reason - it fell off a Chevy. They're made by Delphi and used in the Blazer.
All of the current top3 Supercomputers in the world are POWER5 IBM designs.
Clearly, that makes it an obvious choice for a laptop CPU.

"We think the iBook, PowerBook, Mac Mini, and potentially Xserve are areas that are going to move to Intel first," said Shaw Wu, an analyst at American Technology Research.
"We also think they might move the iMac or Power Mac," he added. "There, that should cover everything"
Now before I get modded down, I be to remind whoever might read this that what I am saying is FACT. - bogaboga
Loosing a lot of face sounds both painful AND disgusting.
