WAIT, I think this is fake because it goes to an IP instead of the ThinkSecret domain. My bad, lock it please.

The g5 has its considerable maths handling ability, much faster FSB and 64 bit-ness. On the other hand I wonder how the heat and battery life are.

Hopefully this will put the power back in 'power' book - 'cause motion is a dog right now on a PB 17"

That's only 104 dpi.

That sounds great - a new era is about to begin

But I am a bit disappointed with the 9700 graphic cards, especially in the 17".

Any news about case design and HD rpm?

I'm getting the 13"

Attention: Look at my second post. This is fake. Sorry.

solero · May 25, 2005, 04:08 AM

Damn - news of a G5 PB would have made the perfect start to an ordinary wednesday.

But I must say that it's a very well made fake

Yes, but I'm still disappointed that the fake only has a 104 dpi screen.

What's the world coming to if this is the best that hoaxers can come up with?

fake making barstewards

hopefully the real ones will be better

Anyway, considering the current 15s and 17s are at 1.67Ghz, I don't think the hoaxers did their math very well.
