Cinema display, even. Nice. Too bad they're hindered by that shitty OS :D

Checking the measurements though, it's only 2" wider than my Inspiron 8200, and my Inspiron is 1" taller. Got a 15.1" UXGA, native 1600x1200 resolution. I wonder why their screen only goes 1440x900 :confused:

Any linux distro's working on G4 processors yet? :D

The next big thing from Apple: The new 17-inch PowerBook G4. Featuring the largest, most spectacular display ever to grace a portable, miraculously engineered into a 1-inch-thin notebook that’s ultralight (just 6.8 pounds), ultradesirable — and starts at $3299.

Sweeeeet. In all seriousness, the only thing keeping me from getting a Mac has been the OS. If Linux runs on 'em ... hehe. I likes them G4 processors!

I'm guessing though, that WINE will only run on x86 processors? I guess I should look it up, eh? :D

Any linux application will run on any style cpu, just gotta compile it.

Oh yeah ... I forgot about that. :D

Hmmmm.

I may just get me a PowerMac G4 tower, with one of those 23" cinema displays *drool*... for my next full on computer purchase. And a 2 button wheel mouse of course :D

Of course, we're not talking anytime in the near future :(
