[QUOTE="iSheep, post: 48063"] There are no signs and I've read nothing at all about G5 PowerBooks coming soon - also, as I discussed in another thread, it's actually much harder than you think to get a G5 into a PowerBook. First of all - heat. The iMac G5 has got all that heat coming out of the thingy at the top - nice. Also, it has an unlimted supply of power to burn. The G5 will require a lot of cooling and a lot of power to keep it going - not ideal for a notebook. Also remember, that while the iMac G5 is small, it isn't as small as a PowerBook. I think people putting dates in to get a PowerBook G5 is March 2005 - but we'll see. Check out [url]http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/[/url] for some more info. I've orded a 12" PowerBook which should arrive this week or next - if it only lasts until next March, then oh well - it's still pretty good - I'll wait for the G6 :) [/QUOTE]
