New PowerBooks... Today?

There's no real reason to believe report.

But makes for interesting speculation in the 5 hours before such a release would be made public.

I don't actually know what Apple could do to the PowerBooks... since they were recently updated. New formfactor release perhaps? Seems speed bumps are too soon.

arn

what a bizzarre rumor.
although that was my reaction to the 12", 17" inch rumor last MWSF-eve.

too soon for speed bumps. new vid cards? L3 for the 12"?

G5! G5! G5! G5! G5! G5!

:-D

"Gimme gimme gimme a PB G5 of the midnight..."

G4.5?

REALLY cheap long-battery-lasting G3s?

Is it possible the iBook G4 ate too much out of the PB's share
and so they need to make the PB more attractive?

I bet it's either just an over-hyped minor change,
or a small price drop. Or nothing at all, of course.

Well, perhaps they are going to introduce a 15" Powerbook that is working and available. Would be great for a change ... ;)

Sort of -- almost -- late for a Christmas buying season introduction...

Of course I lost track of the status of the LCD Assembly for the PB15.

Probably a speed bump across the board and a new GPU for the 12" Powerbook.

if something happens, i think a price drop seems most viable ...

It's a nice non-obtrusive change.

To early for speed bums - only been like 2 months.

G5? thats more of a January event i think

tablet book? that would be kinda neat, unlikely though. along with a 10" and 19" powerbook... LOL

i like the official LCD fix for the 15"

but i think price drops seems like the safest bet, just in time for X mas shopping

Strange rumour. It wasn't long ago since PB were refreshed.

Maybe a price drop?

Considering the season, maybe it is something that will be consumer oriented. Again, it could be a move to clear inventories before January.
