New Powerbooks on Tuesday - Part 2?

Last week there were last minute claims that PowerBooks would see revisions on Tuesday. Tuesday came and went without any new releases... which seemed to effectively bury that rumor.



But, again, there are again new hints that PowerBooks may see speed bumps this Tuesday... with suggestions of speeds toping out at 1.42GHz 17" PowerBooks with 1.33 GHz 15" PowerBooks. Is this the same old tired rumor? or is there truth to it?


PowerBooks were last bumped in September after a prolonged wait. More frequent updates may help spur more consistent year around sales for Apple. In a surprise move, Apple recently did bump the mid-line PowerMac from 1.8GHz to Dual 1.8GHz.

that's a pretty small speed bump. I can't see anyone really caring. How about the 12" though? Still 1 ghz?

I wouldn't necessarily put a whole lot more credence into this than over last week's powerbook on tuesday rumor.

but if you were about to buy a PowerBook, it might be reasonable to wait until Tuesday.

instead of speed bumps, perhaps they have a solution to the screen problems reported on the new 15" Alu powerbooks, and in might be nothing more than that, on the other hand, both would be nice, perhaps even a G5?........

Well I can dream can I?

Fixing the 15" screen issue sounds more probable.

New Powerbooks next tuesday, eh? How come this sounds to me like the "New iPods next tuesday"-thing that kept going from January to the end of april ..? :rolleyes:

Hey there? did you just move this article from the front page, to page 2, I was a little confused there, or is my Safari browser playing tricks on me?

accidently posted it to the front page initially... was always meant to be a Page 2 rumor.

Why would Apple update the PB line this close to the holidays, and even more important, so close to Macworld? That is when I could see the line getting an update...
