I wouldn't buy a red macbook, or ipod, but the important thing is that they just release the darn things already. They've already missed most of edu buying season... what are they waiting for?
Apple is simply missing the whole thing, not just the education buying season (as importasnt as that is)!
They'd like us to believe the Intel transistion is going smooth. Geesh, read what seem to be the majority of these posts and it is anything but.
They jumped the gun transitioning well ahead of some of the most important (or at least commonly used) graphics software out there (Adobe).
The books at least seemed plauged with quality problems including, excessive heat, hinges, uneven screen lighting, whining processors and at least one spontaneously combustible power conector.
On one hand I'm chomping at the bit for a new (x)Book. On the other I'm afraid to put my money down. I can't lose productivity business-wise and don't want to be frustrated in my play time.
I've bought first gen SE, Quadra 700, 5215CD, PM9500, PB140B, PB5300, G3 iBook, iPod mini, PB G4 (Ti), iMac G5. This is not even a complete list. The only problem I have ever encountered was with the PB5300. Oh yeah, caused because Apple recalled the power adapter that came with it and replaced it with one that fried the 5300 immediately upon pluggin it in!
I currently run the G3 iBook, PB G4, 20" iMac G5, and G4 tower. Guess which one saved my butt in January? Which one was the ONLY item able to correctly read the DVD's I recieved from a client? Yes, the old, lowly G3 iBook.
Franky, much as I want an Intel (x)Book, I'm considering a G4 PB.
Oh yeah, while I'm at full rant, I'm not happy aboutthe total dissalusion of any Classic support.
