Powerbooks

Alright, I've been wanting a laptop for a long time, and while I don't have the money yet, I'm looking at the Ti Powerbooks. A Mac-avid friend of mine said that the new round of powerbooks will be coming out around the Spring. My question is, will they use the Radion 9000 mobility? Now I understand that a laptop is not a gaming machine, but I'd like to have something that can run games decently. The Radion 7500's in them now I hear are ok, but the 9000 is leaps and bounds better.

Any of you people who are in touch with the Mac-rumor-pulse know anything about this?

A new round of TiBooks and iBooks is certainly due.. I have no idea when.

The mobility 7500 is a real chip, it just isn't a shader chip. But you can code and play on it like it was a desktop.

I would assume, again without having any specific knowledge, that the next iteration of laptops would have to have at least one model with a 9000, if not across most of the line. The TiBooks certainly would, and I wouldn't be shocked if the iBook top model did as well... but with Apple you just never know until it is on the shelves. ;)
