Alright, I know there have been a million of these threads, but I'm in an interesting situation. After a year of saving all my money, I'm ready to unload on a G5 and a Pbook. The G5 will be order after WWDC, and I cant decide about the book. I'm pretty settled on the 12", and I dont want any advice about that part of it because I know what I need for my lifestyle.



Anyways. I want to get the most for my money, and I will be getting Applecare for the book but not the G5. If I order my display with the book, then it automatically gets covered under the book's APP, but I want a new display. I have no complaints about the current ones, but I'll either pick up a discontinued one or a new model after the update.



Should I get the book now without the APP for the display or hold out til after WWDC? I dont really need to have the book at the moment, but if I have it I will use it for work this summer. I just thought I'd throw all this out here and see if anyone else had suggestions for playing games with Apple's warranty policies.



Thanks,

ipod

    Do you have any way of using a CRT to hook up to the 12'' in the meantime, until you get the updated display and G5?

    I'm sorta in the same situation, I want a display, but I've already got my PB with Apple Care, I'm wondering if Apple Care is available on the displays, and if it is recommended to work the system to have the Apple Care on it?

    well i dont ever intend on hooking the pbook up to the monitor--it will be strictly for the G5.

    If you need the laptop now, then get the laptop now. If you can wait, then get it when the new monitors come out. Your call as to when you "need" the laptop.



    Good choice with the 12" PB BTW - I know 2 people with it, and they both love it.
