Powerbook Specs? [Updated 2]

Update: The speculation posted was probably partially wrong (mostly pricing)...



These are still a possibility:



15" 1.0GHz, up to 2GB RAM, 64MB VRAM

15" 1.25GHz, up to 2GB RAM, 64MB VRAM



All three (12, 15, 17) models will be updated.



Addendum: Based on some final whispers... the previous "software announcement" rumor was actually supposed to read "hardware announcement"....

I also suspect the new 2 GB ram max. I mean, Apple is using 1 GB DIMMs in the PowerMac G5, why not the PowerBooks?

:( I was really looking forward to that. Something just a little unexpected. So I guess this mean "no".

I'm waiting for the G5 PB before I make the switch. Next week or next Spring - doesn't matter to me. Sooner would be better, but later means less debt :p

That's way too weak for a 10 month wait. however, if you need a powerbook, you can get an updated 1Ghz for about $600 less with some extra features.

i have to buy a powerbook. So were this to be true, i would feel a little better buying the $1999 version than I would have paying $2599 for today's model.

Also, if this were trus, it might indicate G5 powerbooks soon, becaeu they aren't even bothering with the new G4 chips.

How can Apple release the Powerbooks that are twice as expensive as imac that have the same processors?

I hope those specs aren't true.... it's a huge disappointment.
