The pc I am using for most off my windowsneeds is dying.
So I am on the lookout for another pc.
Might as well be a laptop.
So is there a model off apple laptops which is already known to be supported for upcoming morphos?
That way I have both worlds..well no XP but surely the apple will be compatibel enough for most off my needs.

The laptops MorphOS was demoed on were 15" G4 Powerbooks 1.67 GHz. And the demos looked quite promising and advanced. Nevertheless the MorphOS-Team members emphasize again and again, that it would be stupid to buy a powerbook now in teh hope of a soon relase of MorphOS for these devices. In fact, while demoed, it was not yet officially confirmed that support for Powerbooks will come at all.
Or to put it that way: Don't hold your breath on a release you may suffocate on lack of oxygene.

I've got a Powerbook G4 1.67Ghz 15" hi-res model. Maybe it'll be supported by MorphOS one day maybe not but regardless it's a very nice laptop and I use it most days. The only other Powerbook i would consider is the 17" version of the one I have.

Why wouldn't he buy the mentioned powerbook ? ... the chance that it will run MorphoS someday certainly is a lot higer compared with a WindowsXP compatibel machine.
