Ok, I am starting to wonder why Apple made a bother at all switching to Intel for the MacBook and then iMac Desktop when they are so bloody expensive that I cannot afford one, and, not a whole lot of people can.

So, are they going to make an iBook version of the MacBook? Like a slower CPU smaller GPU etc. Because I really need a Mac for college and I don't want to drag around old technology nor do I want to say goodbye to $2000.

Is Mac going to continue using the PPC CPU in iBooks and just make them faster, or are they going to put Intel chips in iBooks any time soon?
