I really wanted the G5 powerbooks... And i atleast wanted backlit keyboard on the 12''...

I am a little disappointed, but it's not a bad update

It's a slight price drop too isn't it? I might be wrong, but I thought they topped out at $3299 before this update.

A very long wait for very little results. I struggle to see why that took soo long to achieve.

I presume it was the supply issues with Rottenrola. The sooner we get G5s across the board the better.

Why did they dump the L3 cache? That's a major pain!
