Good time to buy a powerbook?

Uhhhhhh.... dude? PowerBooks were just updated. The next updates probably won't be until April or May of 2004, and those will probably just be faster G4's. Buy the PowerBook - you won't regret it.

Dont' forget the Mac Rumors Buyer's Guide

As for refurbs from Apple... I haven't heard too many major complaints around these parts.

Just bough a new 17 inch PB yesterday. Could'nt be more satisfied.

Yes, I have noticed a significant performance improvement in my 12" PB 867 after putting the 512MB chip in. Since the new 1GHz 12" costs the same as the 867 MHz did a weeks ago, it is probable that the soon to be available 1GHz refurbs won't cost much more than $1200. I would wait to see if you can get the "new" 12" PB for comparable prices in a month or so. I bought my 12"er about 6 weeks ago, and I kinda wish I had waited although I am very satisfied with my PB.

i think it's a good idea. especiallyon a budget like a lot of people are
