I've read it's because they wanted to have "mac" in all the names. It makes SOME sort of sense, but, I mean, come on, people would have to be pretty stupid to not know that an "iBook" is a Mac laptop. iBook sounds way better then Macbook. :P
I personally don't care that much what kind of processor I have. Sure, I would prefer it not be Intel, but I've been using my Intel iMac for 3 yrs now, and it's plenty fast and powerful for graphic design, web design, photoshop, etc. I think it's inevitable that Apple switch away from the Intel processors. They're so big now, that it doesn't make sense to be tied to another giant company, and with what we've seen with them developing the A4, it'll probably lead to them developing their own processors for the Mac. -Elliott On Oct 30, 2010, at 10:39 AM, Steven wrote: > My guess is that Steve Jobs wanted to erase anything that he didn't create, > which is why the only PowerPC names left are iMac and Mac Mini. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
