Best Time to Buy a PowerBook?
I am planning on buying a 15" PowerBook this fall. I am wondering if this would be the best time to buy one, or should I hold off until the IBM 970 is introduced into the PowerBooks. But how long do you think that would take?
Also...when would be the best time to buy an iPod?

For the iPod, I would wait a couple of more weeks. We will hear something about the iPod when Apple announces their Music Server in the coming weeks.
Hope this helps
We have to see how 970 based powermacs progress before we can really guestimate on 970 based notebooks. Much of the smart money is on G4 based powerbooks for at least another 18 months.
All Apple models are best purchased immediately after refresh. Apple gives neither a decent heads up, or significant savings as a product ages. The other smart play is to fight over the few discontinued models still in circulation when updates happen (provided the savings are significant)
