New Laptop model on October 15th.
I wanted to buy a laptop from our Apple Sales rep and he told me to hold off until October 15th. He said apple has lots of new things to announce over the comming months and that October would be the one for laptops.
This was the same guy who, way back in June, told me that my ibook performance problems would be solved in August but Jaguar was released and not a better book!
Just food for thought.

I think if there is something new it will be presented in the next expo, in the beginning of January.
But lets' see... 15 is in less than two weeks
But what the hay...i'll bite. Two weeks it is!! Here's hoping <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

<strong>I doubt that.

No. The tibook is past it's 6 months update cycle and 2nd Apple doesn't use Expos for a lot of releases any longer. Oct 15th ends one of Apple's promos as I said in another thread.
Fingers crossed here as well, money ready.

Not that this guy knows anything, but did he happen to mention the specs of these new machines?
<strong>Well, if it's any indication; USC students/teachers can buy the current Powerbooks right now for 400-500 off the EDUCATIONAL price.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Okay thats the sign I have been waiting for. Anyone here at USC?
Where did you hear about it being 400 lower?
I do however think that the a new powerbook will not be released till January.
Fingers crossed anyhow!
Just a thought...
<strong>Okay. Now I have been looking for it at the edu apple store for USC and their own Apple store. All 667 are in the 2250-2350 range.

it's $400 lower for the low end model and $500 lower for the high end model, which makes them $1899/$2399. You won't find this price on the educational store. They're on flyers around campus (according to a Mac friend who goes to USC) and you have to walk into their Campus Computer Store in the Campus Bookstore to buy it at that price.
<strong>Conventional wisdom suggests a PowerBook G4 refresh is almost a certainty this month so there's no reason to be alarmed or skeptical.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Especially now that Sony ships notebooks with DVD burning capabilities...
Sales reps might not want to a) sell you a computer they don't have (if they're backordered) or b) annoy you by selling you stuff that will be updated in 2 weeks.
