PowerBook with iSight and Widescreen iBook?
Appleinsider is reporting that Apple will be introducing "new eye-catching industrial designs" in the first half of 2006.
According to "extremely reliable sources", the rumor site reports that the first Intel machines will be appearing much sooner than middle of 2006, as officially announced.
Appleinsider expects a revised 13" Widescreen Intel iBooks to appear around April or May. Meanwhile, Intel-based PowerBooks are expected to beat the Intel iBook. The new PowerBooks are described to have a 20-25% thinner form factor and incorporate an iSight build into the display and ship with Photo Booth.
Apple also reportedly wants to be one of the first PC manufacturers utilizing Intel's upcoming dual core processors.

What! No 12" PB on the roadmap. I thought they were among the best selling boxes, no? :( Think I might like the rumored 13" widescreen iBook though if they equip it with an HD resolution screen ...

Let the 2006 Rumor Season begin! I've been waiting for this for a while now. I think the iBooks will swithc before the Powerbooks, tohugh, waiting for more advanced Intel chips before jumping. Dual-Core sounds good, and so does iSight in the Powerbooks.

2006 seems like its gonna be a long rumor season!:D
With the Powerbooks going before iBooks I belive that becuase from many of the tests the Pentium M arictecture kills the G4s. (or at least I pretty sure correct me if im wrong)

I think it makes sense to get Intel Macs out there as soon as possible. No reason to wait now that it's been announced.

I am going to get myself one of these.
I was planning on a minor dilemma choosing between the 12" iBook and 12" Powerbook. A 13" iBook certainly sounds appealing, though a 15" Powerbook a little earlier with a built in isight might be nice, especially if they drop the price again.
I know a lot of people with Powerbooks, and of those who have gotten them recently, there are more 12" Powerbooks than others. Oh well, gotta wait and see.

Sounds awesome. Count me in for the powerbook :)
Maybe they'll drop the price just a bit too just to get more people to bite. I'd love for the new iBook range to start at $599 and the new Powerbook line to start at $1,399 (or below :) With that and the stagnation of Vista, Apple could really make quite a move on the marketshare front.

I'm just hoping before next school year, I'm going off to college, and will be Purchasing a Powerbook, no matter what is inside of it.
25% thinner.... that's less than an inch baby.
