Apple's G5 PowerBook is the 'book that I would consider, however, they can cease and desist at offering these warmed over models that has yesterday's technology. The G4 is pokey and is not a good substitute. Additionally, look at the specs, a 167mhz system bus, are you kidding me? At least tease me with a dual -core G4 with a decent system bus and video ram. I will keep my $3,000 and await a better option from Cupertino, hopefully they will get it before the people from Austin does due to my patience with Apple is growing very thin.
