So has anyone heard about these updates that apple scheduled to announce this afternoon? I heard mention of duel channel ddr2 included with the new computers. I am in the midst of purchasing a powerbook as soon as possible but I'm not sure if I should wait. Waiting kind of makes me nervous as I know that I can get by with a time-tested machine at a cost that I can afford. Maybe I could get a word on if I should wait to purchase or not. Does this mean the current powerbooks will disapear? My student discount is good only through the applestore!

A laptop would be great for me since it'll allow me to change working environments and I can do without all those bulky peripherals
 I can probably wait forever for something even better (e.g. the Intel Powerbooks), but even then there's going to be something better right around the corner, so the real question is if what I can buy now is good enough for my use? (general stuff in addition to video-editing, music (audio/MIDI) etc.) To everybody using the latest (or almost latest) Powerbooks: are there any drawbacks to them, and if yes -what are they? It seems like even a few years back, professional musicians were using Powerbooks (with much lower specs than the ones sold today) to make music and edit videos, so even though they'll probably be outdated in a year or two they surely won't stop working and be useless for tasks like that?  Anyone here who's just bought the very latest Powerbook? Any issues that need correcting so that I should wait a bit longer, or do they seem to work fine? |
