Where 12" PowerMac G4's Go Before They Die
I have the same laptop. I've had it for about 5 years, and it's still working great. I would like to give this a try some day before it kicks the bucket. Sure beats the pants off any of those digital picture frames.
Technological Makeover, Mac-Style
Apple Inc. recently updated its line of notebook computers to include some of the most significant changes made since 2001. The MacBook and the MacBook Pro have essentially been merged into a single line, sharing similar designs and specifications. They are physically differentiated only by screen size, speaker grilles and availability of ports.
Previously, Apple split professional- and the consumer-level Macs, not only by design but by materials used as well. For example, back in 1999, PowerBooks were sleek black notebooks that used rubber and plastic casing. They looked professional and went well with corporate wear. In stark contrast, iBooks were bright. There was initially a choice between tangerine and blueberry. These colors were later replaced with indigo, key lime and graphite, with translucent plastic and colorful padding made of rubber-like material. When these colors were made available, Apple remodeled the PowerBook, giving it a titanium base for an even more professional differentiated look. Read more at Jakarta Globe
Why I'm Still Holding off on the MacBook Pro
1. BluRay - 25GB & 50GB recording capabilities for completely backing up my hard drive on 2 BluRay discs. Sony just put its $3,499 BluRay laptop up for pre-release sale, so Apple should follow by January MacWorld, at the latest.
2. Robson - 64MB-4GB Flash memory for booting in seconds, rather than half a minute. Availability: next year.
3. 802.11n (forgot this one!) - The promise is for bandwidth rates of up to 540mbps, which is cool - but not that useful, since we're limited by the speed of the cable/DSL connection, but not bad for internal data transfers. The important piece is the 2-8x increase in range. Sweet.
4. Maturity - In the 5 months since the Pro came out, and Apple has had more than 4 revisions (2 months ago, they were on Revision E). Over time, Apple works out kinks in each revision - such as fan noise.
5. Important Universal Binaries - A lot of my company's work requires the Adobe Suite, and the Universal Binary that will come with Adobe CS 3 won't be available until 2007. Speed is your friend, and running CS2 on a 2 Ghz MacBook under Rosetta is 60% slower than on a 12" Powerbook. Blechhh.
6. Virtualization - VMWare is releasing its software in the next 6 months for OS X, although Parallels just went Gold. I'll look out for reviews of the last version, although the last release candidate wasn't stable.
7. Buyer's remorse - I bought my 17" PowerBook in November. Ouch. I bought the 15" Titanium, 3 months before the 17" Powerbook came out, in November. I got the 17" Powerbook in November 2005, 3 months before the 15" MacBook Pro came out. Ouch. Steve Jobs knows when I'm about to buy a new laptop, and hates me. Punk.
7. Leopard & iLife 07' - Save $129 on a next-generation OS and $79 on iLife. I'm guessing Leopard availability in Summer 07' and January 07' for iLife. Ok, this one's really just more buyer's remorse :-).
