I believe IBM couldn't get the Powerbook G5 out of the lab because of thermal issues, it was in development though but canned.
Edit: I've toured that lab before, and saw the iMac G5 facedown on a table before it was released ( I didn't know what I was looking at, at the time)
- kjs3 7y agoI'm guessing you're right. The Mac G5s are legendary, of course, for heat. I've worked with VMEBus G5 machines (PowerPC 970FX chips) and they were furnaces that needed force air cooling no matter how we played with frequency. I can't imagine putting one in a ThinkPad case.
