[QUOTE="Mojo027, post: 34269, member: 3145"] Nah the powerbooks will start at either 1.6 or 1.8ghz G5. I highly doubt you'll see a 3.0ghz G5 in a laptop for quite some time. Getting any chip to 3 ghz right now is totally uneconomical. A- It puts out WAY too much heat to even joke about. B- It would eat a battery very very quickly. Anyways yeah I just hope Apple doesn't make a sacrifice like lowering the battery life to put a G5 chip in a powerbook. Hopefully they will wait and do it right. [/QUOTE]
