[question] PowerBook x86

Hello fellow A-S-ians.

I've search the internet for PowerBook X86 info... But get not much. First - my english is not very good and second - i just can't read more =)

So i want to ask you people. Do you hear something about it? Is it Holy Grail (untouchable) or is it "n-months real thing"?

Is it worth to wait for that thing or buy PowerBook G4 and feel lucky right now?

And please no flame or platform/processors war. I respect both Win and OSX :cool: And i want to have both... But i don't want to buy non-upgradable thing which become obsolete within 6 month :slant:

The rumors are:

1. New, revamped (last generation) PowerBook G4 will come out soon.

2. Intel seems to be churning out the new processors rather quickly (faster than expected)

My take is...

We wont see nifty x86 PB in around 9-12 monhts; however, it is not the best advice to get such a changed system's revA... Hold your horses and get a revB, they bundle everything that the revA early-adopters complain they should have gotten (hell, my revA G5 came without an AE Antenna, now that i bought an AE card, i need to find my luck to get one!)

That means i should not buy PowerBook x86 or about 1.5 year or so? Because revA + Intel-shift is very risky gamble?

OK... i see...

Maybe you right

Than i should wait for revamped PowerBook... Can you give me more info/links about it?

What i said means, i would not buy because of the revA+Intel shift until they are in revB your take might differ
