I would like to outline some of future predict on what mac will be and how it’s gonna effect your computing experience in next 12-24 months time frame.
1. Apple will roll up MacBook (a.k.a Intel iBook) in less than 2 months. Start your saving now. It will run Mac OS X and Windows too. It will sport Intel Core Solo 1.67GHz and Duo 1.67GHz too. Price estimate 1,099.
2. Apple will launch Mac Pro (a.k.a Intel PowerMac) in Q2-Q3. Verdict It will run 64-bit Intel Conroe (Intel Core Duo successor) in Dual Proc Dual Core configuration (read: 4 logical CPUs), and the top configuration will run Quad Proc Dual Core that runs blazingly fast 8 CPUs… don’t hold your breath. Spend 3,299 dollar and you’ll get the fastest Mac OS X and Windows Vista 64-bit machine!! Price estimate 1,999 to 3,299.
3. Apple will release a wide screen full touch screen iPod in August… Bye bye Portal Player 😛 … It will the first wide screen iPod and kick Sony PSP out the market for-video-viewing gadget.
4. Apple will show Leopard demo on Developer conference on August. The final Leopard release will be on January 2007. Leopard will be able to run Windows application natively thanks to its Wine-like engine! Bye bye Windows!!
5. Apple will finally split its hardware business and OS/Application business. For you who don’t care about what OS you will run, you’ll get a sweet deal. Just buy Apple machine and load Linux or… of course Windows. Apple will focus more on its retail business.
6. Apple will let Mac OS X installable on generic PC in less than 24 months time frame!! It will start a whole new ball game to compete directly with Microsoft Windows Vista launch.
7. Steve will finally ask myself to be his man to handle Indonesia operation 😛
Hahaha… of course the last one is still a rumor 😀 …. Kidding 😛
So what’s your pick?… Will Apple ever be in your life in the next 12-24 months timeframe? I bet she will!!… Count on me guys!! 😀

sorry sedikit nyimpang dari topik nih. salam kenal. saya hikmat. dulu biasa nulis tentang mac di majalah info komputer selama hampir 3 tahun (1996-1999 kalau tidak salah). sekarang saya baru bikin blog tentang mac juga. masih percobaan. silakan mampir di http://hikmat.atspace.org. terima kasih. sekali lagi maaf.
May 4th, 2006 at 6:12 am
yang 12″-nya core solo or duo Om? yang core-duo-nya kira2 harganya berapa?
May 5th, 2006 at 2:56 am
Halo Mas Hikmat, saya tau anda karena ada baca edisi terakhir anda di Info Komputer soal “berantem” mana yg lebih bagus antara PC dan Mac wakakakaka… Saya jadi inget waktu nulis di tabloid Komputek tahun 1996 soal yang sama makanya saya cuma bisa ketawa aja wakakaka…
Malah tadinya saya kira anda temen saya yang kebetulan mac user juga bernama Hikmat Natawigena 😀 … Ok salam kenal aja.
May 7th, 2006 at 3:27 am
bukannya intelBook maupun yg Solo ato Duo, semuanya 13.3″ ?
untuk kelas 12″, masih mengandalkan iBook PowerPC G4.
May 7th, 2006 at 5:10 am
Alangkah lezatnya OS X di PC rakitan.. sluurrrps. (itupun kalo bener terjadi)
May 7th, 2006 at 11:39 am
Mas Noto, terima kasih. Wah….saya jadi ingat masa lalu nih. sekarang kaya’nya gak ada lagi majalah komputer yang punya rubrik khusus untuk Mac ya? atau mungkin saya salah. OK. saya suka banget blog anda.
May 9th, 2006 at 7:39 pm
eh mas noto, itu yang nomor 4 maksudnya kita gak perlu pake semacem bootcamp en install windows di leopard? langsung install aplikasi buat windows en jalan gitu?
May 16th, 2006 at 6:50 pm
[…] As we predicted, there will be surely no PowerBook 12”. Bye-bye PowerBook 12”. Why. Simple. Read the tag. “Meet the Family. Now complete.”… Hahahaa… it’s ALL THERE. No more portable to hide. […]
