Intel iBook at MWSF (January) 2006?
ThinkSecret is adding its two cents on possible Intel-Mac releases at Macworld San Francisco in January of 2006.
ThinkSecret is citing that according to "highly reliable sources", Apple is planning on releasing their first entry-level Intel iBooks at the Macworld expo. Detailed specs are not available, but the rumor site hints that the iBook line may see a price drop by as much as $200 in some cases. While another Intel-based release is not out of the question, ThinkSecret expects there to only be consumer level products to be shipping with Intel processors at this early date.
There have been conflicting earlier reports on the possibility of Intel-based Macs at MWSF. A previous report claimed an Intel iMac release at MWSF with Powerbooks soon after, but Intel iBooks not expected until Spring.

Great! Intel laptops coming faster than I expected. Knowing Thinksecret has a reliable track record, I'm giving them a 70% chance of being right. Could definitely Apple dropping another bomb. :D

Hmm, it could happen. I definitely expect iBooks to be the first to come with Intel. Although still, January seems a bit too early. I know that Tiger can run on Intel, but what about the other programs available? How is that gonna work, especially for switchers who will be needing to buy new versions of their favorite programs.

Maybe its just me but doesn't it seem like the rumor sites are "covering all bases" like they did earlier this year?

A lot of talk about Apple needing to aggressively price their laptops. That would be nice if the switch to Intel lead to decent price slashes across all the product lines.

Faster than expected. I'm quite impressed by the speed at which Apple is able to design and port over to the x86 instruction set.
Like the article mentions, it makes sense for Apple's lowest performer to go intel, with Power Mac G5s slated for summer 2007 when hopefully all their pro apps like Final Cut Pro go universal binary by then.

No one can make up their mind on what product is going to come first can they? Oh well, it's only a matter of time until we know.
GO REX.

Wow! A 200 dollar price drop? Maybe this Intel thing will be worth it after all. ;)
But I still hope to hear something about an Intel PowerBook, even if it does not ship until March or April.
