Thread Starter | New powerbooks www.apple.com/powerbook/ Anyone else disappointed these aren't G5s? I know I am. Well now at least --- as an owner of a recent-vintage Powerbook G4 --- I won't feel the sting of new model envy I was expecting to feel this season. --- c |

Once again Apple tries to do a lame upgrade. But at least the price is better. I am upgrading my dead 667 but it's an iBook for me.  | |

| More RAM, bigger HD, newer video card, lower price , but 'best' of all: Optical digital audio I/O on the 17" Powerbook. Too bad it's not on the smaller models tho. Would be great to just hook up an AD/DA convertor and start recording. Let's hope we'll see this expanded to the other Powerbooks as well in the future.
