I will not ask you how it is possible to like these designs, but who told you that they will come into market?

No offense but those designs really stink. Plus who confirmed that they were going to be released

You know what they say about you when you ASSUME, right?

These are artist conceptions of fugly designs. I doubt Apple would ever make anything like that with G5 (which won't happen) or Intel.

Um, yeah... The Intel Macs may be called a lot of things, but they most certainly will not be called G5s. G6s maybe, but not G5s.
