Sweet! You have every right to be giddy!
It's fun to fantasize about the PowerBook revision's features but chances are they will only be modest. X700, eh. DDR2, even more eh. 200MHz FSB would be nice though.
i think i am going out to sushi with a coworker on the 19th for a date, so i will be buying her food and maybe to the movies too.
that is what i intend on buying on the 19th

Do you think that MWSF will offer an updated Ibook? Also, does anybody know if your can buy macs at MacWorld itself? It's been years since I've been to one so I don't remember if there are good buys to be had at one.
Power Mac G5, my first ever power mac. Hopefully they'll offer at least two dual dual configs. if not i'll be stuck with a single core. I think if this is going to be the last powermac g5 ever then they should all be dual dual.
and if there is a 13.3 widescreen pb. i'll take one of those too, if not only the powermac for me,....maybe a 60 gb ipod

i hope so, to both of those, as that's when i'm planning to buy my new iBook for college...
I am planning on getting a dual-core Power Mac G5 and Apple Cinema Display 20-inch within the month (hopefully before 2006 at least).
i'm not buying anything whatsoever....another week after that or a few weeks whatsoever...they'll come another announcement or event or whatsoever new products...

Hopefully after Christmas and MWSF we'll actually have a week without Apple updates (never thought I'd hear myself saying that).
If I had the money, I'd probably buy the last of the PPC PowerBooks, maxed out 15" likely.
I am going to buy the best Dual Core Power Mac and any other accessories that come out that day.
I've been using my ailing G3 iBook since May, waiting and hoping for a PowerBook update.
*IF* the PowerBooks are updated... I'm getting a 12" PB, 17" extra monitor and bluetooth keyboard (for home use) and a new Timbuk2 travel case.
Upon receiving said PowerBook, I will most likely take it (and it's 6 hr. battery life) to Starbucks and spill my Venti Caramel Macchiato w/ an extra shot, all over the keyboard.

That sounds like a good plan.puckhead193 said:prob taking a trip to newton mass to go to coldstone
Actually, dropping the modem from laptops is a bit premature. There are still enough hotels that don't have broadband. And I would hate to have another loose piece to carry around.aswitcher said:
In that case you're not buying another Apple product ever as there will always be something new announced every so often.DarkNetworks said:

i have been trying to figure this out as well and nobody seems to know.
if the powerbooks are updated on wednesday, i will probably just buy the 17" from the online apple store. but with my luck, the local apple stores here in dallas will probably receive new powerbooks two days later and i will be wishing i would have waited so i could buy one locally.
Since this is a Wednesday evening announcement I doubt they'll be in the stores Wednesday.FRRYY said:
They could be in the stores Thursday or it could take a few days. Or it could take a week or two. It all depends on what they say at the announcement.
However, since they seem to be clearing the product pipeline, there's a good chance for them to be at the stores fairly quickly. However, how many will the stores get and what will the demand be? I'd recommend ordering online to avoid the rush.
Well depending on if they release Powerbooks or PowerMacs or both I'll have to see the processors that come with. If they were to release say a dual processor G5 powerbook or hypothetically a dual core dual processor power mac then I might just end up getting the chicken korma instead of the chicken vindaloo i usually get.
If they updated the 12-inch (which everything points to them not doing), I might order that.
However, if they came out with 13-inch widescreen, I'd order right away.
If the 15-inch got some really good specs I *might* get it, but I don't want a notebook that big.
Finally, if there ends up being no new Powerbook I want, and they update the cinema displays, I might get a new one of those. However, I don't think they'll be that much better, and I doubt I'd notice small specification improvements.
