Analysts Expect Intel Macs in January

YES! :D I'm hoping so.

I'm expecting Apple would, in order to get the ball rolling for late developers in the transition to move over to x86 as soon as possible. As a WWDC member, I'd love to own an Intel PB than 'rent' an Intel G5 develop machine.

Here's to new Intel PowerBooks!

YES! :D I'm hoping so.

Post whore!:D Posts a one line response to be first and then goes back to edit it.

Lots of Intel rumors, the real question is which line get them.

Man I wish I could have a job as an analist so I could just repeat other people's research.

That would be pretty cool! iMac or iBook? I wish it was a powerbook but I doubt it.

Ok, that's that then. No hope for Intel Macs in January :(

I mean when did the analysts got something right? Monkeys throwing darts at stock listings have higher accuracy in their predictions :rolleyes:

If Rosetta has gotten that good that it doesn't matter that much whether it runs natively or not that might be more than probable.

Well we all know they are going to release something, we just don't know what that is.

I am hoping for the PowerBooks (probably like most here), but I am expecting the Mac mini.

Although there is one bit of evidence that Apple has some highend laptops coming because ATI is apparently holding off announcing the X1800M (it's highend mobile graphics chip) until certain partners announce laptops with the chip in.

Lots of Intel rumors, the real question is which line get them.

In the professional space, the PowerBook line is in dire need of an update. I see this getting the Yonahs before the iBook line. Apple's going to suck dry all the potential of PPC for as long as they can. The iBook line is the perfect suckage machine.

In the consumer space, we'll see the mac minis getting the low-power Intel chips, plus the speed needed to decode (or encode) HD H.264 on the fly. Cooler chip also means less fan noise; a must if Apple wants its products at home in the livingroom.

12in Powerbook G4 for sale!

These industry sources could also be the ones that predicted this Intel switch back in June. There are a lot of rumbles regarding this SF Circus, and I am ready to spend (as soon as I unload my G4).

Wait a minute... "Apple" and "highend graphics chip" usually doesn't go in the same sentence. ;)
