PowerPC was far from a dead-end technology when it was announced. They had a very ambitious road map and were responsive to customer needs.

- vetinari 6y agoAt the time of the announcements, there were G5s in the towers and G4s in the laptops. One of the big problem was, how to put G5 into laptop, as it was too power hungry and produced too much heat, and Motorola with IBM were not going to do anything about it. Moto went out of the PPC business and IBM was focusing on the servers. Ergo, it was dead end for Apple products.
