| Re: And a 16 bit graphics card 4:38 AM EDT Tue Apr 17, 2001 | |
| Doug Petrosky Ok, so faster video cards are always nice, but Dual processors? Faster Bus? and a SuperDrive are absolutely necessary before this is a complete laptop? At what cost? Dual processor would greatly increase heat and power draw (there is a reason nobody has ever done this). The same is true for system bus. You do know that all of the current Intel laptops don't even run the processor at full speed when not plugged into the wall to conserve power! right! And a superdrive! Here is a technology that they can't even make enough fullsized uints to allow apple to sell their top of the line desktop and you won't be happy until it is minaturized, slotloading, and low power enough for a laptop. I'm all for advancements in technology, and I look forward to all of the things you mention but, unreasonable expetations are what cause stupid articles like this one. Look for faster video chip, DVD/CDR combo drives, and higher clock speeds. Once that is done, we will look at some of your demands. Oh, and look for a redesigned iBook, smaller, lighter and larger screen so it can be used as a business system. |
