I'm getting ready to get a 12" iBook modded out completely. I'm getting the stock config and then sending it off to Mac-Res-Q to have a 120GB 5400RPM Seagate installed..... along w…

Yeah... Mr. Gogarty, I have a bad feeling that you might have spent about $500 more than you had to... The PB 12" SuperDrive lists on store.apple.com for $1,699 USD, and the iBook…

damnit... no new powerbooks... can't decide whether to continue to wait or to suck it up and buy the current one.

The previous 3 releases have been Sept 03, April 04, and most recently Jan 05. So we're sitting almost at 10 months coming up here. That's pretty long. I would expect that they are…

DEFINITELY WAIT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!??! Or just get the ibooks. Whoever said that when you option the ibook up to parr with a powerbook it comes out to the same price is definite…

Does anyone think that the lack of new PB's at the Expo means that Apple may in fact be working on a more significant upgrade to the PB line? I would think that they have had plen…

Hmm, if there are indeed no upgrades today, this presents a big problem to many users like myself... I need a new Powerbook in the next 2 weeks or so. Not *ultra* urgent, but the …

talked with an Apple rep Sunday. He thinks the new Intel processor chip will be released in 2006. I suppose that will change alot of things about current model performance.

^^^

All this talk about a PB revision today was just a lot of wishful thinking. It may not be until November until the 7448 processor is ready. Apple doesn't lose much by not rushing t…

ohwell, i'll just get the current 12" then :-) It'll still seem like teh sexy compared to my poor 500Mhz G3 iBook.

I have had my 12" for about three weeks and love it. Would buy it again in a heart beat.

Apple Expo ends the same day as the 'Back-to-School' (September 24th) deal Apple has right now. Perhaps revisions will occur next week. Just a guess.

By the way Gogarty, you have speakers on the the 12". They point out the back, but they are there. I am 99% of the time on external speakers or headphones, but the built in speaker…
