Re: G5 Laptops on the way???

[Krevnik]

Should be possible now... although in a different form factor of sorts. 
The largest battery shipped with an Apple Laptop since the Kanga G3 
seems to actually be the Lombard/Pismo shipping with 4800mAh batteries 
(and you can get up to 6600mAh from 3rd party batteries), and recently 
the 17" Powerbooks with 5400mAh batteries. The G4 12/15" are at 
4400mAh... so it is possible to get batteries that compare with the 
increased power usage, but  they will cost a fair amount more, 
increasing the cost of a G5 Powerbook for the end user.

"The 970FX, meanwhile, consumes a mere 12.3W at 1.4GHz, paving the way 
for PowerBook G5s. That figure is comparable to the 7.5W a 1GHz 
consumption of the G4-class Motorola MPC7447 that drives the current 
PowerBook G4s."
