I didn't know about the air-cooled G5. However, I do remember the G3
Lombard and Pismo managing extraordinary battery life on one or two
batteries. Then again, I'll be using my Lombard through the end of High
School, so there. I'll have to check real-world life on mine, but I'm
sure it'll keep up with a Centrino on battery life with a new one..

Not all G5 PowerMacs are water cooled - though that may have changed
with the dual core machines. Actually my G5 dualie runs cooler than my
Pentium machine (judged both by reported processor temps and the heat
from the fans and the fans on my dualie almost run more than the
lowest speed.) My aluminum PowerBook does run a good deal warmer than
the Centrino notebook I have at work. However, before getting the
Centrino machine I had a P4 notebook that ran just as hot.
What I'm looking forward to is a Mac notebook that gets more than 2
hours from battery. The only thing I like about my Acer notebook is
the fact that I get just over 5 hours use of it before having to swap
batteries.

I should clarify that my G3 runs cooler than any of my PC notebooks
have, but the G4 is just plain hot, and not only in the styling
department. Ask anyone who has used a TiBook or an AlBook for any
length of time. Plus, the G5 has to have water cooling to run at a
decent temperature. I honestly think that Apple on x86 is the right
move, but I just hope it's smoother than the 68K to PPC transition.
As an Apple fan, I'll remain loyal for a long time, however. I have
faith in Apple's quality, which is why I'm waiting to go Intel with
Apple.

Well, to be honest, I'm looking forward to the new Intel PowerBooks,
just because I think Apple is making a good move. I love the
PowerPC, but the x86 hardware runs cooler than the G4 or G5. The
only reason I don't have one is because I prefer the Mac experience.
