Well, it beats squirming in your chair and reloading the Apple store every 12 minutes.

Totally, not to mention they all too often push back the release date, reduce the specs, or bump the price due to 'high demand' ... Then people cancel their orders when they're out of the 'new stuff frenzy' and are already waiting for the next on…

forgive me for cynicism, but I've heard that before... what makes you so sure?

Personally it seems to me that they very rarely announce awesome things are ready for immediate shipment... \ It's such a dilemma, because what if they announce a speedbumb in Sept but then the G5 in Feb? The 12" education deal is really go…

So now everyone's saying 8/18-19. The fact is, nobody's got {squat}. It's very silly, when you thnk about it -- it's always been like 2 weeks away... We have learned that channel clearing means nothing. 'It's about the right time' means n…

Well, there's only a little more than a month now until AEParis. I can hold out, I can do it, I can do it... But what if he DOESN'T announce new stuff at Paris? It's like, if it's going to be until Feb, I'll just get the stupid 12" …

it's always a couple weeks away... even with the Al12 at 1399 edu, I haven't bit because I have this feeling that when I've had it for 3 days the new line will come out. Maybe I should buy one, and the evil computer karma I have will mean A…

Well, with the 12" Powerbook at 1399 it'd be really stupid to buy the 1199 ibook... I'm thinking that iPod deal is sounding really good... However, the lack of cache really gives me pause. It seems to up chip performance dramatically, so I don'…

Actually I take offense at that, pscates... I have a rare, life-threatening condition whose only cure is the sweet, sweet lovin' of a 15" AlBook. The MAX ram ceiling of the iBooks and 12" PowerBooks is uncomfortably close to my personal minimum…

I think they should prove that Bush's administration shoehorned us into a position of preemptive war, and then focus on the increasing chaos in Iraq and the ideological desolation of Afghanistan. We're recruiting the next generation of terrorist…

If the keynote is 1030 ET, it'd be 330 PM in UK... right? Just one more day (mere hours, really) until we know whether we'll get new Powerbooks soon. For me, the most compelling evidence 'for' is that the product cycle is long overdue for the …

Didn't someone say 6 pm tomorrow (not that they put forth any justification, but still...) If nothing happens by the keynote, I guess we're pretty much waiting until September. If they aren't shipping new notebooks until late fall, they're m…

The only thing that I don't like about laptops is kinking my neck down to see the screen. I'm kinda surprised that the basic formfactor for portable computers hasn't changed in so long... I always wanted one where the screen could slide up to eye le…

Wow. WOW! That page really helps me not drool all over other peoples' laptops... thinking that mine will be more drooleriffic... and SOON!! Thanks, Jiphee, for the time-to-update info!

I have more modest dreams. They made the Monster book, they have the 12" book, but they still don't have the portable, dockable book. Today's technology would be fine -- 10.4" LCD .5-.66" thin

Hey now, don't go annoy Halode. Halode is a *her,* anyway. A friend of mine has a 14" iBook, and it's surprisingly responsive. If the iBook is just used for Dreamweaver, light Photoshop, I think it'd be fine. But I would rather have an Al.…

Yeah, but saying lots of people would wait if they knew something else was coming out infers that those lots of people would be BUYING said next thing. So maybe sales would be just as good, but would come in spurts timed around new introductions…

'Tis true; I don't NEED a portable. I have an 867 Dualie w/ 23" Cinema that serves me better than fine. (Addiction to 1920x1200 makes me wonder if I can go back to 1024 -- that, perhaps more than anything else, keeps me from buying an iBook right n…

Thanx for posting... Yeah; I know folks've been talking about this stuff on other threads. I was just looking for entirely non-specific info, and was claiming no knowledge of ... anything, really. Wanted to debate new Powerbooks and not processo…
