Videoeditointiin suuntautuneena odottelen kuin kuuta nousevaa G5-kannettavaa ja edes rumour-evangelistat eivät halua tarjota parempaa päivämäärää kuin tuon vuoden 2004 lopun.
Tästä näyttäisi kuitenkin olevan tulossa hyvä vuosi Applelle.

AIO (All In One) iMacs are bye-bye. Take the pod/base of the iMac, chop off the display, redesign it to look uber-cool as only Ives can do, plop in single G5s and impressive (albeit less impressive than PowerMac) internals, and price-points of $999/1.6GHz, $1299/1.8GHz, $1599/2.0GHz. No super-drive or oodles of memory at $999.
Why would anyone buy a pricey Apple-brand monitor for their new iMac when they can get better price/performance from brand-x. (1) Form-factor. While you technically could tack a blasé display to a mondo-cool iMac, no one will want to just based on the looks alone. Expect the display look/feel to perfectly match the "new new iMac". Taken together, they will appear to be "all-in-one-ish". Or, put the new new iMac under the desk and the new displays will still look very, very Apple. Also expect a reduction in price for the base model and larger displays.
G5 PowerBooks won't appear until late 2004. There are just too many heat and power issues to work out without compromising the portable's form factor. When the PowerBooks go to G5's the iBooks will go to high-end G4s.
