G5 Powerbooks, finally???

I can only hope Think Secret us right and the the wait is finally over. Credit card at the ready. Specs are about where I expected in terms of CPU speed. If true cool, althought the URL is kinda fishy. Check it out!

Thumbs down

Um.. fake?

If that was true it'd actually be on thinksecret.com, but it's at 59.167.34.25 ...... clicking on any other link on that page goes to thinksecret's home page, except the article.

I'm not really looking forward to them. I don't think they'll be small, which matters. I want to carry a notebook around, not a suitcase replica.

It looks really fishy, especially the L2 cache specs. It looks like the L2 is running at _half_ the speed of the processor, which means that it is off the CPU and not integrated onto the CPU die. This is a major step back and will have a) major impacts on performance and b) no visible gain in power consumption. I doubt the specs are genuine or some misreporting occurred.
