- As afar as i know, the 040 (on a 900) drains 15W, that is a lot of power
- for a puny battery. Other problems include: size of CPU, cooling (15W
- would result some heat). Back to your original statement, no i don't
- know if Apple is making one or not. If those that use 040 needs
- portability then market is there hence Apple will grab it. But a lot of
- Quadras are used in engineering, trying to model on the road it not
- everyone's need.
