May have to postpone buying a PowerBook until January after reading this thread...

There's the possibility of the new Mobility Radeon 9800 (too big for the PowerBooks at present) and the new G4s (whenever they become available). Who thinks either are likely for the PowerBook in January?

Well, we're already discussing new PowerBooks (when they'll be announced, what processor they'll have, and the Mobility Radeon 9800) in this thread:

So I'm going to lock this one.

Anyway, it's not that the Mobility Radeon 9800 is too big... it's just not available yet, as far as I know. Once it comes out it'll stay the same. What you COULD say is that when the current PowerBooks were released in April, a chip as fast as the Mobility 9800 would not have fit in the PowerBooks, but that's why they're working on it so it's cool enough and small enough to fit in one.

Anyway, locked.
