The 15″ G4 Powerbook is no longer available for sale via Apple’s online store.
“It was there yesterday, but was gone this morning,” MacDailyNews reader “mw” writes us in an email.
Go ahead, try it for yourself: Apple Store: Powerbook G4. Only 17- or 12-inch models are available.

Just another sign Apple is going to switch to Windows.
Damn! Apple shakes things up FAST!
She’s not gone – shes just evolved into a higher existence!!!
It’s a trick! Don’t click!

Please send a charitable donation in lieu of flowers. Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, the PowerPC has bit the dust.
Bye, it was sweet. I sold my PB a month back and got an iMac CD. Much better computa!
Maybe they turned it into a cube. Apple should work with Erno Rubik. Imagine a video cube with an LCD on each of the 54 (scratch-proof) faces. A six faced multimedia tile game? Forget thinking outside the box. Be the box.
Ty Webb: Just be the ball, be the ball, be the ball. You’re not being the ball Danny.
Danny Noonan: It’s hard when you’re talking like that.
Ty Webb: I like you Betty.
Danny Noonan: It’s Danny sir.
Ty Webb: Danny.
so like, if any Photoshop artists wants to get a portable with decent speed, running OSX that is, they’re out of luck. Oh well…iPhoto is fast, right?
im interested in what this media event could hold.
hoping for a new range of ibooks.
under 1k. with dual core. i dont think single core will be enough to run ilLife ’06 smoothly enough.
makes sense, now that the macbook pro is shipping, and there’s the event coming up.
I’m hoping these will turn up as refurbs or clearance on apple’s site.
Doh, even gone from the education store

Well, if you were in need of a 15″ PowerPC notebook for PhotoShop for the next year until Adobe gets their Universal asses in gear, what were you waiting for? The MacBook Pro was announced on Jan. 10, and started shipping last week. They gave you almost 6 weeks to get your order in. You snooze, you lose. You better get yourself a 17″ PowerBook while they are still available!
But seriously, the PowerBook G4 wasn’t much of a performer to begin with (compared to a PowerMac at least), so how much slower will PhotoShop run in Rosetta on a 2GHz Core Duo vs. a 1.67GHz G4? They’ve gotta be pretty close to being on par. Guess I’ll find out in a couple of hours when my MacBook Pro arrives…
Cue MacDude aka Murder Junkie posting about how this is another part of the vast Apple conspiracy to force us into using machines we have no control over…
Different R, MacDude. Wasn’t me.

If Apple waited for all the major software companies to release new versions, we’ll still be using non-PPC computers. Adobe and M$ will drag their heels because they know they can. Unfortunately it is the end user that suffers.
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, if IBM won’t, Intel must..
Went by my local Apple Store last night & there was not an iBook in sight.
Neil, remember, it is the end user that pays the bill.
Though i don’t think Apple should drag their heels, but the major software firms can drag because most of their $$ customers aren’t using new hardware.
Let’s bow our heads.
“I want to be drunk with despair,
I want to caress my care,
I do not wish to be blithe,
I wish to recoil and writhe,
I will revel in cosmic woe,
And I want my woe to show,
This is the morbid moment,
This is the ebony hour.”
