Well, I just tracked the shipment of my new $800 ibook from Amazon, and it's currently out for delivery.
However...
I may be crazy, but as of now I'm looking to wait until MWSF to open it. You see, I was origininally going to wait until then anyways to order a recently outdated ibook G4 at an discount price, but the Amazon deal looked too good to pass up. I don't plan to move to intel (no prejudices, just practical reasons) and I save money.
If Steve announced new intel ibooks in January, I'd be happy as a clam with my "obsolete" PPC model. Now though, I'm staring to doubt the inclusion of intel chips this early and am worried that I'll open this puppy up only to find out in a few weeks that Apple's put out another G4 update to the ibook. If it was just a small processor bump, I wouldn't care, but what if they do the dual-core G4's? What if they update the video card? What if, what if, what if?
AAAAHHHH!!!
My logic is that by not opening it, I can return it to Amazon and spring for the new model (if it's still PPC).
I'm not trying to be batty. Just trying to get the most out of my money (I'm a college student).
Well, back to waiting for the brown truck to pull up...
