Powerbooks: No G5s, Details Here

Direct quote from my source:

Apple announced two spec bumps to their G4 PowerBooks at the PhotoPlus Expo 2005 today. Expect the new machines to have higher resolution displays; the 15-inch will hit 1440 x 960 (up from 1280 x 854), and the 17-inch will bound all the way up to 1680 x 1050 (up from 1440 x 900). Both laptops’ displays will actually have 46% increased brightness, while supposedly managing a 22% increase in battery life. They’ll also feature standard SuperDrives, built-in Cinema HD support, and are available now with a new pricing scheme: the 12-inch will go for $1,499, the 15-inch for $1,999, and the 17-inch for $2,499.

The big thing here is that it comes with a higher resolution along with SuperDrives standard. The more pressing issue is that it DOES NOT come with G5 processors (64-bit processors. They are the future).

My Rating: 2/5 Pretty poor update and overall just disappointing to many that expected G5s.
