Ik heb weer leuk nieuws voor de Mac freaks hiero. Inmiddels zullen die een teringhekel aan mij hebben gekregen omdat ik niet zo blije ervaringen heb met de Macs (en omdat ik die negatieve ervaringen hier nogal duidelijk kenbaar maak 
). Anyweg, ik was dus bij MacOS Rumors (yup, ik - pc gebruiker - kom door regelmatig) en kwam daar dit rijtje met info over de Apple consumor portable (draagbare iMac) tegen:
Expected moniker is "WebMate."
300MHz PowerPC 750 processor
66MHz main bus, 512k backside L2 cache (rumors of a
cacheless version persist but are considered
unreliable).
32MB of RAM, expandability up to 384MB with SDRAM
SO-DIMMs (same as used in Wallstreet, Lombard, and
iMac).
2MB ATI 64-bit graphics supporting millions of colors in
832x624 resolution. Unknown whether resolution will be
switchable.
11" passive matrix LCD display. Display quality will be
industry-leading for this price point, but still behind
the latest professional models.
"Bulletproof" enclosure designed to survive nearly any
accidental impact or fall. Employs high-strength
plastics similar to iMac and Blue G3. Design will employ
translucent colors not from any existing Mac, rumored to
be based around smoke grey and purple (colors are highly
speculative and not confirmed). Form factor reported to
take a page from the eMate's book, but due to design
constraints it will be significantly larger and may not
include a handle.
Total weight approximately 4.5 pounds.
Because of the curvaceous design, thickness measurements
can be misleading, but reportedly the enclosure will be
approximately 3" thick in the middle and approximately
1" thick at the edges.
Expansion port of some type (either a Mezannine PCI slot
or PC card slot) to accept wireless LAN and Internet
access options.
Built-in 56k v.90 modem and 10/100 Ethernet.
Two USB ports
Supports NetBoot capability
Reported retail pricing: $1349
Da's een mooie prijs voor een laptop. Een oplossing voor het brakke MacOS 8.x is onderweg (in de vorm van MacOS X), dus wie weet worden Macs ooit nog echt bruikbaar [voor mij ]
