“Many sources are agreeing [on the announcement of] new offerings at Apple, either on Monday 18th or Tuesday 19th. New PowerBooks are mentioned, with an aluminium 15” and an increase in frequency for 12” and 17”, [and] also new displays, which would adopt the G5 look with a punch-holed casing. And maybe but who knows, a little update of the iMacs, to boost the sales that have been quite sluggish the last months,” MacBidouille is reporting.

I’m taking this story with a grain of salt. MacBidouelle hasn’t been very good with Apple product annoucements.
This sounds about right. The 15-Inch PB’s move to aluminum is long overdue and so are the displays. A nice iMac bump wouldn’t hurt, either.
I just want the damn G5 desktops!!
“MacBidouille” please… not “MacBidouelle”!

Where’s my Sager 8890 from pctorque.com… j/k
I definitely need to replace my G4 Cube with a better mobile solution like the Powerbook. I would love to see the 17″ have two hard drives and full sized keyboard.

PB updates closer to September to allow channel to clear but also make time for Xmas purchase season.
Displays are doing very well in absence of [and despite of] anyone actually owning a G5 BUT us image-aware lads are obviously holding out for aluminium-on-aluminium for our desktop set-ups.
Not very good with announcements? Who was the site leading and breaking the G5 rumors from the get-go? They’ve moved up in the rumor world, they have a real source (unlike MacWhispers or MOSR)
well that just about covers all possibilities.
I guess MacBidouille got the scoop on this one… <];^)
whats this the 12th time they have announced the impending 15″ powerbook?
please…
Here’s to hoping for the 20-inch display to become the low-end (thus more affordable) If that happens, my order for the Dual G5 and 20 inch monitor goes in the same day

Along with the new PowerBooks, MacDailyNews is making a name change to MacDailyGossip. Oh, paalleeeezzzz!!

All of this happened within 1 weekend and MacDailyNews decides to run Apple gossip instead! Geeesh! Don’t you guys ever learn that no matter what you speculate about Apple’s releases, it is always much better then the rumors? Just sit and wait. That way you won’t look like such idiots when you are wrong.
Upcoming new Mac model? Arrive home and fire up your new ultimate eHome appliance!
Looks like an LCD iMac, but tap any key to wake it up. You’ll see that your ApplePhone SW shows you have 4 voicemail messages, which you can return by just clicking on the contact or phone number. Walk around while you’re talking, the built-in microphone makes your Mac a speakerphone. You notice your printer has a few faxes that arrived, and you fax replies using the built-in sw. That done, you want to check the 6 pm news, so fire up the TV Tuner (connected to your coax cable). Rather listen to NPR? Switch over to the FM Tuner, using your infrared remote. Sounds great through the Bose system with subwoofer.
A dream or a flashback? I do all this on my 20th Anniversary Mac, still my daily driver after 6 years.
Why not take the 17″ iMac form, add the needed Apple-branded SW (and possibly the coax TV cable connector), and you have a Definite Dell-killer.
Maybe add touchscreen film for fingerpoint navigation, to really set the PC world on its ear again.
When I see Steve demo-ing this, my TAM shuts down and goes on eBay.
who give’s a shit…it’s all speculative and moronic!

GOOD POINT Aryugaetu!
Out of curiosity, is there a single site out there with all anti-M$ news? I’d love to read about them and all the stupid S!*@ they are doing….
taipan: RE full size KB on the 17″…
Aesthetics put aside, a full-sized keyboard on the 17″ PB won’t be good (though the actual size isn’t far from full-size, minus the number pad), as you’d have your hands off-center relative to the screen… quite bad for posture, would harm your body after extensive use, as your eyes/head, shoulders/arms need to be properly aligned.
A much better solution is to buy a 3rd party USB number pad, some vendors even have nifty pads which act as USB hubs as well! Not everybody needs a pad.
taipan (again): RE two HD’s in the 17″er…
If you can get your mitts on the July 2003 issue of Mac Addict (bright orange cover) you’d see a dissected PB 17″. This machine is so jam-packed that I’m astonished there’s still place for air…
The only thing worth adding (apart from 2x1GB so-dimms) is a second processor, and given the FireWire 400 & 800 ports, you can get full-speed external FW hard-disks a lot cheaper than any competing 2″5 internal disk. The best internal 2″5 disk available is a 60GB at 7200 rpm with 8 MB of cache for 345$, a 250GB 7200 RPM FireWire 800 USB 2.0/1.1 costs 460$, 4 times the capacity for 33% more cash is the better deal.
you guyz have been talking PB 15inch upgrades for months now!…. untill its on apple.com its all just speculation and bull shit….just give us the hard line facts!! this is mac daily news isn’t it???
I have from a reliable source that the new 15 in PB was photographed in California aproximatly 2 months ago, can’t expand don’t want to get anyone in the hot seat.
