One day apple will finally have out the G5 powerbook, if they want to. I don't think the G5 offers benefits that a much less wattage freescale G4 couldn't produce.

That sound you are hearing is Steve Jobs tearing someone a new one.
Good news for all of us though.

meh. just a typo.
I dobut it, for all we know it could be a template for the site. Thus it's used for G5 and G4 images. Not necessarily the laptops only.
I hope I'm wrong though like the rest of us!

There's been a lot of "typos" lately. This is the second "typo" about the PB G5. They're getting more and more beleivable each time.
