Re: Timing my first Mac purchase

[AKR]

I am not sure if you are going to be successful in timing this purchase 
that closely.  It is a guessing game and the time you spend waiting 
could be time you could have spent on your new PB.  Also, keep in mind 
that even if the G5's do come out this year, there are bound to be 
glitches with the Rev A batch just as there were with the white spots 
and latches on the first round of the 15" AL PB's.

I bought my 15"  Al PB at Christmas and am absolutely thrilled with it. 
 I knew full well that the G5 PB's would be out at some point in the 
future but was not prepared to wait.  I needed and *wanted* a portable 
system and of course it had to be a Mac.  I barely use my 500 mhz iMac 
now because the PB has become my primary computer.

Will I be envious when the new G5 PB's come out - you bet but I won't 
regret my purchase for a second.  I will have had full use of it for 
the entire time I would have waited and got it for a great price.

I'd say go and buy the 15" and start enjoying it now.

Hello all

	I am currently planning to buy a 15" PB to replace my 4 year old
Dell Inspiron.  I am trying to figure out how to time this purchase so
that I don't buy a Powerbook only to have a newer model come out a 
<insert
short time period here> later (which is what happened to me with the
Dell).
