Faster chips will also migrate to the Powerbook notebook line. There's a pretty good chance that a Powerbook G5 notebook will appear no later than the summer of 2004.

hmm, isnt Panther a 64bit OS? Oh well. And i doubt a G5 Powerbook is on its way, they are having cooling problems with the G4 never mind a G5 from what the guy at the appl store told me. He said if anything look for a dual G4 first. But maybe i am wrong...
