PowerBook Price Drop!
It appears that Apple just dropped the price on the 12" and 15" Powerbooks! The 12" came down by $200. I don't remember the prices on the other models, so I'm not sure how much they've changed.
Yay!!!

Damn, I wish I had thought of that. But in my rush to be the first to break the news here I didn't bother with creativity.
If they were gonna update, wouldnt it make sense to do so at the same time as a price reduction on existing models? Confirms nothing for me.

If they update, the existing models would be the upraded models.

Price drop just on some models and just in US, not rest of world. Cant remember what prices were before but 15" SD looks the same. Please correct if wrong.
The SuperDrive Ti was $2,799 and is now $2,599. (It was originally introduced at $2,999 so it has fallen $400 since November.)
$2249 CAD for the Combo PB! I could have sworn that the Combo used to be $2899, and the Super was over 3 grand - now it's $2549 CAD.
12" Combo iBook is down $150 CAD too.

Umm.....Sorry to disappoint here but we have a price drop here in Australia too!!!!
Pricing in order of PB:
$3995 -> $3099
$4495 -> $3499
$4995 -> $3799
$5995 -> $4899
And we've had PB shortages here in Australia for the last 3 months easily!! Sounds like a new PB is in order here people!!

It was $5299, and it's now $4699.
those hoping that the 970 will be in powerbooks in the next few months will be disappointed. my gut and head agree that it'll be high-end single g4's for some time to come.
really, this signals more to me that the new 15" models are ready, and will be a bit cheaper than the previous tibooks, and they are both clearing stock, as well as setting the price points for the 12" and 15" going forward.
so yes on the new 15" AlBook soon, no on the 970 in the powerbook line... at least not until they get it into a desktop machine, first.
Hehe just kidding but now I understand how people feel when Apple does this! Hey, I got the B&W G3 right before the G4 came out but that didn't effect me I never used AltiVec and I liked the Smurf color better.
Will they update the 12" PowerBook hardware when they release the 15"? 1ghz, GeForce440go? Then they'd have to put the 4200 or 4400 Go and 1.25 or higher on the 17". That would be sick.
Calling Escher........... Here's your new 12". Or you could buy mine now that it's outdated...

what else do you want?
