i saw a sony vaio in dixons the other day. it was truly tine, half the size of a 12" pBook. i thought - laughable little pda! but no. instead of an even smaller desktop space than the stupid 12" pBook (1024x768 is impossible for pro apps these days, it's useless as a promachine - if you want to show clients work, print it out! don't spend £1500) it had a bigger deskspace nearly, than the 15" pBook

10" display, 1280x768 screen res. that was bloody impressive.

for the next powerbooks they need to get this into commission. imagine if you will:
the 16" (17 really is too big to carry around :P) HD Powerbook

as for G5: no. it is the time now for desktop and notebook processors to go seperate ways - a powerhouse on your desk, a portable on your lap - look at the intel centrino technology and also mobile graphics. wintel have seen that low energy consumption and optimised-for-wi-fi are of far greater importance than sheer clock speed now. apple should see this too. the IBM PowerPC 'M'5 chip? mobile mac chips.

pc laptops now are making the powerbooks look a bit silly. they're not the smallest anymore, nor the fastest, not even the sexiest anymore in some cases. just... apple, now
