i saying that they could learn something from the winel world, which *SHOCK* isn't all complete farce. there are some good ideas there, just a lot of them are badly implemented. (i still find the mac finder to be slightly clumsy compared to windows 'my computer', but that's another debate entirely.)
i'm saying a dedicated PowerPC portable chip would be a really good direction to go - the G5 has absolutly no consideration for power consumption or heat - the PowerMac G5 is one big cooling tower. beacuse it can be. laptops are'nt unlimited.
but apple also need a major reason for justify a major form factor change - that's the clincher that everyone wants to see - what will the new PBooks look like? that's the exciting bit - where will the innovation come from? and not just the chip - my g5 is fast but it's not completely life changing. i want silly high-res screens, like i said before - HD (1900x1200) powerbook displays - that'd be pro. - that really would change the way you work, more than 200mHz ever will
