I would say the Powerbook up to 933MHz - NO Superdrive, YES Bluetooth

Ah, last minute rumor time.
I say Powerbook up to 1GHz - NO Superdrive, YES Bluetooth cuz there is definate signs pointing to bluetooth and they'd be nuts not to use the fastest CPU avalible if that can be put inside the Powerbook without making it a George Foreman grill.
Superdrive info kinda shaky though.
Not yet, but maybe next time.
Hope I'm wrong though.
I, of course, voted for the 1GHz, YES Superdrive, YES Bluetooth.
Though my second choice is 1GHz, YES Superdrive, NO Bluetooth.

Pretty optimistic, arn. :D
I say 1GHz, NO Superdrive, YES Bluetooth...
...though I'd be happy if Apple came up with a slot loading superdrive that fits into a 1" enclosure out of nowhere. ;)

I voted for the 933MHz with superdrive & Bluetooth. With the announcement on the 6th Apple should get more press coverage. :)

I think everyone is going to be disappointed. I voted for No bluetooth + Only Up to 933Mhz + No Superdrive.

I agree and I think we will see the superdrive version in about 6 months from now. Along with the 1g or 1.2ghz powerbook. I wouldn't mind seeing also an updated case design.

933/ 800 with the $200 dollar price drop... nothing else changed.
I can't imagine the 1 ghz coming out because otherwise they would not be stiffing the ibook with the third consecutive pathetic 100mhz bump.

Powerbook 1GHz, Radeon 9000 64 MB DDR, superdrive would be cool but is not necessary for me.. (i am getting one, and i'll be using it for about 3 years)
I would be able to live with 933 MHz PB if they make better case to prevent those ugly terrible scratches.
If they unveil 933 MHz G4/Radeon 9000 64MB I will fall into depression..and I will be so sad, I will think about dirty things (getting a pc laptop which would run circles around powerbook:p).

Apple will _NOT_ have an iBook and a PowerBook with the same clock speed, if they have any brains whatsoever. The PowerBook sales are farely weak as it is, but if the sales people had to say "but the G4 has Altivec, and the G3 doesn't"... they would be screwing themseslves over pretty good, IMHO.

OMFG SHUTUP.
i'm damn tired of this argument.
look...the iBook has 700MHz right now.
look...the PowerBook has 667MHz right now.
but the G4 has Altivec, and the G3 doesn't.
that makes all the difference.

5.6GHz g8 chip with BlueTooth 2, and a 450 Gig HD starting at $599.99. I wish :D. Probably the 933 withDDr, with bluetooth, but w/o a Superdrive.
