This argument was used about the G4's never being cool enough to put in a

Of course temp issues have never slowed down the dark side--they just
supercharge the cooling fans. Maybe the Mac laptops can become like Windows,
measured by decibels of noise not Mhz of speed!

Look at the new generation of G5s that are coming out next month. They
use a 90nm fab process, and from what I have been reading the chips
dissipate less heat than the current generation. G5's in laptops are
do-able. Apple and IBM have to get the chip's power consumption down
low enough, and
Okay, I try to keep up with this list, but it's tough given the

give it a shot.

The pismo is a great machine, but the lombard is 1. 66mhz, and 2. missing
firewire. Other than that, it's an absolutely wonderful machine as well.

Actually, I was just expressing my annoyance that the Pismo is going up
to 900Mhz/1Ghz on their G3 chips (so you get to decide between G3/900
and G4/500 as upgrade options)... while the Lombard users get to choose
between G3/500 and G4/500 as upgrade options. The G3/900 chips aren't
different

Pismo's were brought on the market to satisfy the video edititng
enthusiast. And as we know, any application extensive programs like
FCP, iMovie 2+3 need a lot of head room as to processing power, and
ram. Well, sad to say lombard's were never intended to market as video
processing machines. .
