Anybody got any news on when the new model 15" powerbook is coming out??

12" is too small, 17" too expensive, but the current 15" is looking old. :)

most rumour sites are reporting it to be a few weeks yet. There are a lot of
books still to be shifted, plus they don't want to take the shine off the G5
announcement. Will probably be sometime this summer. Could also be a slight
speed boost.


And will probably be made using Aluminium, not titanium, citing production costs and cooling issues, especially with a faster chip. The problems appearing with the new 12 and 17" 'books are all to do with the aluminium, in terms of scratches and marking, basically because aluminium is far softer than titanium.
