Buy Pbook now or wait a couple months (not what you think)
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,

well i dont ever intend on hooking the pbook up to the monitor--it will be strictly for the G5.
Good choice with the 12" PB BTW - I know 2 people with it, and they both love it.
