I slept through last weeks announcement of Apple’s predicted PowerBook G4 speed-bumps and have instead been laser focused on Apple’s “Mother of all Thermal Challenges,” the PowerBook G5. While I doubt that I would purchase a first generation FurnaceBook, I am curious as hell to see how they plan to cool it.
I don’t know about you, but my PBG4 1.5 GHz becomes too hot to use on my lap for after less than 30 minutes. How the hell are they going to keep a processor cool that requires seven (count ’em) fans in a desktop enclosure? Anyway, I hope that it’s cool and that Apple offers more than just a G5 and a new enclosure for the beast. Don’t let us down Apple, PC notebook vendors continue to innovate while we’re still stuck with your creaky-hinge rejects.
- Hewlett-Packard Co. announced plans to become the leading vendor in notebook shipments by the end of 2005.
- Dell Improves Notebook Lineup aims for a quick turnaround on laptop replacements, offers software to track missing units.
- Gateway Revamps Retail Notebook Lineup from full-featured desktop-replacement models to lighter units designed for portability.
