I really hope that the new Power Mac's will stay at the same price point because I really don't want to spend too much because of the Intel Mac's next year.
**** a 20" really?
17 inch is huge, hy would they make a 20"
i was gonna get a 17 then say to my boss ah i havr the largest u have the smallest (his pb is a 12") lol, but idont think a 20" would be 2 beneficial to me unless it had soem special feature on it that was only available on that 1 model

Ha! That would be awesome! I wonder if it'd finally get a numeric keypad!
One thing I hope they DON'T do is some kind of multi-button trackpad. I used a ThinkPad a while back and couldn't stand all the little buttons everywhere.
I hope they have a cheaper PowerMac. I just can't see spending $2000 on a G5 with Intels so close, but I need a new tower. A single for $1300-1500 would do me fine. Maybe they'll drop the prices of the current models, and I can get a good deal.
You could always get a refurbished model. There's one for $1299 US currently.solvs said:I hope they have a cheaper PowerMac.

Don't expect too many left over systems this time. Apple seems to be clearing inventory of the current models. Also expect it to be 2007 sometime before there is an Intel PowerMac for sale. Also, what you buy now will still work and have software updates available until at least 2010,so maybe you should by a machine now to last a few years and then upgrade.

Nope, just 4 inches of speaker grill on each side

do we know when the intel chips are coming out?
or is there a possabilty they will come out with these pwoer items?
i know mac user has spoke about the intells long befor i got my mini mac (which was when they came out with the 512mb ram)
so how long are we goin to have to wait? ne way i preffer the g4/g5 chips there much better, i say **** the windows compatability and all thr windows users, if you want office buy apple works, but dont join the windows clan
Well, since it's a G5 PB, that extra space is actually for a cup warmer/mini grill. The keyboard and speakers actually have a thin plastic coating over them so the cheese dripping off the bread won't get into the holes.wordmunger said:Ha! That would be awesome!

As for the multi-button trackpad, I'm with you. I've got a Dell laptop I use on occasion that has 4 buttons. Plus the trackpad acts as a button. Stupid IT department disabled all controls so I can't even customize them (or shut off the trackpad button)!
emw said:
using the track pad a s a button is extreemly handy, ive used laptops with that feature and its very handy, i used my bosses 12 pb on sunday and i kept tapping the pad expecting it to click then remebring i have to mave my finger to the left click,
and why do they place the click buttons bellow the trackpad insted of above, it would be much easier if they were above the track pad
or am on my own with this 1?
I prefer using my thumb to click, but I'd use my middle finger on a button above the pad just for variety (variety = comfort and healthier). I don't think having a button up there ALSO is a bad idea. Apple used to do that in the trackball days.super mini (mac said:
That's the beauty of it. Simply run the PB in clamshell mode and there you go. Although to avoid licensing issues, they can't drain the fat directly into the PowerBook, so an optional device is available and is connected to the PB via the PC Card slot.wordmunger said:
I know, but it's got a lot of limitations for the price. I don't expect a lot of old systems lying around, but I'm sure there will be some, especially if the new models don't ship for awhile and inventory hasn't been completely cleared out. I don't think Intel PowerMacs will be coming anytime soon, and I realize my software will last for awhile, but I just can't bring myself to pay $2000 for what's out there now.Bear said:
If Apple wows me on Wed, we'll see. But I'd still rather have a cheaper single because it would be perfect for what I need it for. I suspect I am not alone in this.

Oh... and one more thing: The eMac hasn't actually been discontinued. The new 27-inch CRT mac will also serve double-duty with its built-in deep fat turkey fryer!
Just out of curiosity, what do the current Power Macs lack that makes you not want to buy one now? I could see if you were comparing the 2.0 to the 2.3, but I don't think the 2.3 is terribly overpriced. Maybe that's just me though.solvs said:
