At the bottom of the page:

"Apple has not yet announced when it will release laptop models outfitted with the G5 processor and configuration. However, the G5 desktop is available for purchase at this time."

Looks like a typo. But we can all hope.

It's interesting, but probably doesn't mean much.

Odds are this thing was written by someone who doesn't follow the latest Mac news, particularly rumors. Therefore, they probably have no clue that Powerbook G5s are most likely 6 to 12 months away.

Still, it's interesting.

i don't really expect to see a G5 laptop earlier than the end of spring/summer 2004, so i bet it's a typo

if apple can't deliver on a G5 laptop by a reasonable timetable, maybe it's time for them to offer a dual G4 laptop in the meantime before the appearance of the inevitable G5 laptop....it can buy apple some time

i still have not seen the 1.8 or dual 2 ghz desktops anywhere;)
