Kids being kids, of course, they have iPods and they use Google, just not when Dad is watching. Telling kids not to do something is the best way to get them to do it.

TomsHardware usually has the best and most equal comparrisons. The thing to check out is the performance durring AntiAliasing. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.:D

The product matrix as it is doesn't really match up.
the ibook is a notebook still perrellelling the old iMac - it also costs less than the new iMac, and doesnt have a g4, or the same cockspeeds.
the powerbook, at this point, is basically a portable new iMac.... 15: screen, 800mhz g4. the only real difference is the level 3 cache.
the main factor keeping the Tibook from being a performance monster that competes with the PowerMacs is the fact that is has to be thin and light. That also keeps the price up.
What if apple introduced a thicker laptop with a bigger battery and a superdrive, better cooling system, faster processors, etc? It would kick the arse of anything else on the market, and would serve as a true desktop replacement. perhaps it could even have 2 processors, but only activate one when it's running on battery, or something like that. There are plenty of PC manufacturers that have sub notebooks, thin and light notebooks, and a desktop replacement.
Why not apple? with their talent for design and execution, it would blow anything else out of the water.

Note that the iBook processor already does 800MHz (it was software-adjustable until someone let the cat out of the bag).

I have a question... is that all worth the extra $200? I played Crackdown all day yesterday, and it seemed to run just as well on my 360 as it runs on the ps3...oh, wait.:D

scem, I think in due time the price of Apple's hardware will come down. Take a look at the prices of the Macintosh/Apple product line. The Macintosh II was valued at I think over $6000. The G4/G3 motherboard was worth up to $3500 I think. Now, the Dual 1.25GHz model sells for around $3300, if you don't feel like chugging in THAT much RAM.
My guess is that in a couple of years Apple's PowerMacs will be reduced to near equivalent prices as when the first dual GHz PowerMacs came out, topping out at $3000.

I saw this link and it made me laugh...
http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/29/apple-os-x-appears-on-dells-driver-downloads/
if you head over here (http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen) and select a machine, you'll get the option to choose MacOS X as an operating system...
how odd. They want MacOS that badly.
Hopefully, it's not a sign it's about to be licensed or anything though! :eek: :(

Well, let's wait until somone receives one and tells us exactly what chip it is.
If it a new G4, then it may better address DDR RAM. That, and the larger L2 cache, would be worth $500 to me.
However, whether you'll utilize the power is dependent on what you do. Try going to an Apple store, and using their machines with the processor monitor open. Run what you would normally run each day.
If you don't peg out both processors, then you don't need more machine. I always have 20 apps and 25 binaries running on top of the OS, so my processor is usually pegged at all times. I have a full load of RAM, and still get pageouts.
For users who are doing office type work (web, mail, Office, etc.) the Dual 867 should be more than enough. For those working with audio, Photoshop, compilers, or running 24/7 services, the Dual Gig should be fine. If you want to do some rendering, run A LOT of services, are a video junkie, or just need to be the fastest, get the Dual 1.25.
But don't buy anything until we hear some more about what's in the 1.25...

Needless to say that this price is out of reach of the average Joe around here.:D
um, the average joe is not looking to buy a fully loaded powerbook anyway. the powerbook is a PRO model and is not designed for the average consumer who is jus going to surf the internet and word process. Hence its price. ill admit its a little much, but if you fit into the category of "the average joe" get an ibook with all your software for under 2 grand

I just want to point out how amusing it is to me that no one seems to have any faith in Democrat622. I'm not saying it's possible, but at least I'm not saying it's impossible.
I'll cross my fingers for you. :D

You are being incredably unrealistic with talk of 16 Power4-lites.
A *single* current Power4 probably costs more than any single Mac product and generates more heat than even Apple's new mega heatsink could be expected to deal with. 16 would be in a case with wheels and a 6-figure price tag.
The whole idea of the Power4-lite is to do away with all the fancy many-many-chip features to make it cheaper.
TyleRomeo:
Interesting to note that Apple said "4-6 weeks" the day the 1.25 was announed, and this is 2 or 3 weeks later. Hmmm, still 4-6 weeks. I originally thought about getting one, but I have since given up and will wait till the next revision which may very well include a Power4-lite option, but we won't have much idea about that until October 15th.
