Obviously, it doesn't exist.

We've all seen the fake picture. But If it were real, would you buy it? Maybe as a luggable, Possibly as a laptop, probably a desktop replacement.

Would you, if it had the same specs and priceing as a MBP?

Would you buy this?

I think it's more meant to be loved from afar. 😀

Do you mean, if there were a Mac with identical specs to the MBP save for a mythical low heat G5? I think I'd go for the C2D, sadly. Being able to run Windows if I want to is a really nice plus. Although my own mythical Apple weighs 3.5 lbs and has a >5 hr battery life. 😱 I could almost care less what it ran on. 🙂
 
I don't think so. The advantages of C2D are greater than the G5's (at this point, for a laptop). Faster upgrade cycles, dual booting, etc
 
I would just so i could say I owned a G5!

Assuming I had the money laying around collecting dust, and burning a hole im my pocket!
 
What is the advantage of a ginormous G5? Unless it has ungodly graphics horsepower, its not worth it.

Which would allow you unlimited smugness on the forums. Good times would follow !

I'd pick up a G5 Powerbook, it's like the philosophers stone or unicorn, an item with rare and fabled powers....

It would have been nice to see a practical and powerful PowerBook, the MacBook Pro is fine.
