Is that real??

 

[OziMac]

Well, at least we've finally got some specs!

If the resolution is increased on the 14" we might be looking at something nice, since superdrive now appears to be standard at US$1299... very interesting... now hurry up and update the Store!

hmmmm me thinks fake PR things, not on apples site yet... http://www.apple.com/pr/

Each iBook features the ATI
Mobility Radeon 9550 with 32MB of dedicated video memory for improved graphics
and either a slot-load SuperDrive(TM), for burning DVDs and CDs, or a
slot-load Combo drive for watching DVDs and burning CDs.

"ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 with 32MB"...

The hell? Still 32MB?! Argh!

Also, can anyone point me in the direction of a Radeon 9200/32MB vs GeForce FX Go5200/64MB vs Radeon 9550/32MB chart? <g>

It said 12.1" (diagonal) Is that normal?

 

[andrewag]

It's real. Press releases usually show up on PRNewsWire before apple.com/pr

Rootman-- Too bad your prediction about intel widescreens was not true. I still admire the ballsy prediction.

That's what I was thinking too. But, when I went to their homepage, and scrolled through the news stories, at 8:31 am, the new iBook article is indeed there.

 

[rosalindavenue]

I agree. Fake.

If its fake, Bloomberg has been punkd. Its real enough. Here is the link.

 

[Jarmo]

Oh rats!

I was sooo ready to get a low end iBook, but 32MB's is just doesnt cut it for me.
9550 as such, would have been good enough.

 

[Hattig]

It said 12.1" (diagonal) Is that normal?

I'm sure it would have mentioned widescreen in that PR as well. I don't think that PRNewswire would have a fake release up either.

So, no Mac Mini for me because there isn't a significant update to my taste, so it remains to see if the iBook is still using the same old display.

 

[jacobj]

This is what we've been waiting for?

That's one hell of a let down

 

[Yvan256]

512MB now standard

All the computers now have 512MB as standard (except the ComboDrive eMac)

 

[unknownfairy]

So why id the goddamn US store still up. Take it down already. HOw long can it take?

 

[Rod Rod]

Dude chill out We all have to wait, it just a joke, geeezz

make a joke, take a joke.

That link isn't working for me ... what is it?

Sigh, no widescreen ..

9550 as such, would have been good enough.

If it is still a 1024x768 display then 32MB is enough for desktop use, and the 9550 is a good step up, even if it isn't as good as could be hoped.

The most useful thing is that the machine has 512MB of memory on board and can go up to 1.5GB now.
