After the Dust Settles - The PB G4's Shortcomings



Hot Swappable bay? You miss the point                   4:05 PM EDT Mon Apr 16, 2001

This is the priority list for Apple engineers rehardware improvements on PB4, in order to make it the best portable ever. Thousands of undecided customers are waiting to see these 3 points below implemeneted a.s.a.p. in order to go ahead and make that purchase:
1) Dual processor. A must!
2) Improved Bus. A must!
3) SuperDrive. A must.
4) Hot sawpping. An option, which is not urgent.
As you see hot swapping is only fourth on the list and is not that important, if focusing on it right now can jeopardize the advent of the above items.
In your article you (and other authors) are stressing the wrong priority for Apple engineers. This is harmful to the real needs of the Apple customers.
Besides, speakig about its overall size you are again wrong - with such a small weight it does not really matter that it is not a subnotebook. Again, let's Apple improver first on the 3 points above and later let them think of a a hot swapping or subnotebook derivative.
