You should read my opinion in the New Predictions thread. I don't believe we will see a new PowerBook for at least 6 months!

Apple will release both a faster & a better model. I promise.

It will likely be within 6-9 months of whenever you purchase yours.

ha thats the truth everything always seems to come out better and faster right after you buy yours.

Didn't you read Mac2006's question? He asked about a PowerBook update, not PowerMac

Unless you need a powerbook with a SuperDrive, I recommend getting it now too

What you need to do is think what you actually need. I decided that the 667 was what I needed for 2 years and I got it. I've had a smile on my face for 3 days now. If you don't need 1 Ghz, then don't get it cause it's going to cost through the roof (that is assuming that they eventually come out with a 1Ghz PB). My reccomendation tho, get as much RAM as you can afford, my system is starved of it constantly.

Right on, get a 667. This is going to be more than enough power for most mobile computing. Unless you need to do a lot of high end graphics or video, this is going to work great. If really need the crunching power, your better off with a desktop as you get faster and larger drives, more slots for memory, etc.

A good rule of thumb is to get a model down from what you might think you need, pack it full of RAM with the cost difference, and you should be happy

More likely 1-2 weeks, especially if you think you know what's going on. If Murphy (of Murphy's Law) really hates you, it'll be the next day.
