I'm still not sure about that. Even if the new PBs aren't announced, the rumored updates (1mb cache, 50% lower processor power consumption, higher clock speeds, etc.) might be good enough to warrant waiting until the end of October at least.
1mb cache would lead to a 20% increase in performance, approximately, and the new processors would increase batter life by a similar margin. These aren't negligible updates. Plus, if you wait until after they are updated, you will own the most powerful and the last PowerPC Powerbooks in existence.
I'm leaving my laptop to my sister on Sept. 21st and coming back to the USA. School starts on 29th. I'm willing to stay laptop-less for 2-3 weeks as I can easily use the computer labs on campus.
At least that's what I tell myself.
