Updated Powerbooks?
Apple rumour sites have been speculating for a while now about the possibility of Powerbook updates, however most sites agree that an announcement is imminent soon, perhaps even this week. High on the list of requested updates are faster G4 chips (possibly 1.25 or 1.33 GHz), faster Firewire (F800) and a new aluminum design for the 15" laptop. An aluminium 15.4" Powerbook kitted out with Panther and a 1.25 Ghz G4 chip (a Powerbook version of G5 is likely a long way off) would do nicely. The 17" would be better, though I reckon the 15" version is a better option in terms of price and versatility.

I’m really hoping they take the ‘perforated grille’ feature from the G5 towers and incorporate it into the base of the new powerbooks. That might keep them from burning laps. Mind you, I use a CoolPad so I don’t need to worry. I just think it would look cool...

Hopefully ‘big Steve’ will announce something at the Paris Expo in a couple of weeks...
