Basically, PowerMacs now have FOUR G5s in them w/ PCI express

Powerbooks have updated battery life and screen resolution but NO G5s

And also, Aperture (photoshop-type product) will be released next month and will cost $499.

Check out my blog for more details as well as my rating.

so basically its my powerbook with a higher resolution and better battery life. i already have all the upgrades that are now stock. 1.67ghz g4, 128mb 9700, superdrive, it is also like $500 cheaper than mine after i used the discount. thats kind of shitty but thats computers for ya. only advantage i have over the stock ones is 1gb ram but o well. the new pbooks look nice.

the only difference from what i could tell is the slot loading drive isnt in the center of the front anymore. its near the top. the battery life on this is good enough though. i can usually get around 4-5 hours watching movies and writing papers and stuff.

yea, I didn't think there were any cosmetic differences, from the pic on that site.

Heh I accidently posted the same thing. Well that's fixed now. I'm definately going to get a powerbook when they go intel. The design is great but it would be nice to see some changes.
