Powerbook update?

Any advice... should I buy a Powerbook 17" now or wait for the next upgrade?

PowerBooks were just updated in Jan. Probably be a while for the next Rev or G5 PB

BUT, I would wait till Tiger is released so that it will come pre-installed on all Macs.

JW, do you think they will be any price drops on the PB's? Or just the ibooks/iMacs?

I believe there were price drops with the last update, so I wouldn't expect any soon with the PB.

Powerbooks are normally on a 9 to 10 month update cycle, so on that basis I do not believe we will see new powerbooks until January 2006 at MacWorld. Apple have already significantly reduced the price of powerbooks on the last two updates and I think that further updates are unlikely.
