Re: Perhaps with the exception of the 17 inch Powerbook.
I know people that bought these things for video
rendering that bring them into the office and do video
rendering while they're doing their regular job. And
there have been complaints for quite some time that
there wasn't a G5 processor available. So there is a
demand out there for 64-bit capability.


Your logic doesn't follow. It sounds more like your office buddies are desiring the performance of the G5, not the sole fact that it's 64-bit. If Apple offered a G4+ that had the performance of G5, I don't think your buddies would have any reason to complain.

On the other hand, Yonah's performance should even challenge the G5, even without 64-bit, and it will fit perfectly in T&L laptops.
