Apple is having a difficult time making a portable version of the G5. right now it requires too much power and produces too much heat to work in a laptop. Also, there are size considerations. The processor right now is too large (physically) to fit in a case as compact as the ones that apple laptops come in. They are working on this, but it's taking much longer than originally expected. In the meantime, there is a new "dual core" processor that's now available, which gives the benefits you would normally see in a dula processor computer, and it's designed for laptop use. It's more likely we'll see this processor on the next line of powerbooks than the G5. Brian
