Sell it on ebay. all considered, you will have lost a few hundred dollars than if you had waited for the new ibooks. the sooner you put it on ebay, the more money you will make for it b/c the new ones have not yet been released.

If you purchased it with an EDU discount you could actually make a little money... guessing that you didnt though

So, why is your purchase stupid? You liked the iBook, you bought the iBook, so now, use the iBook.

Updates may or may not happen. They may not be that good. They may have issues with them. They may not ship on time. All kinds of factors.

Use it, enjoy it, and when there is one on the market that suits your needs better, sell this one on ebay and get a new one.

wait wait wait... "WHEN THERE IS A NEW ONE ON THE MARKET THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS BETTER, SELL THIS ONE ON EBAY AND GET A NEW ONE"... I hope you see the foolishness in this statement... the one coming out on tuesday (knock on wood) suits his needs better most likely a little speed is always apreciated, and mebe he doesnt want to end up paying out more money through the process of selling current ibook and buying another as his current ibook depreciates in value witch it will do quite violently the moment the new updates show up. my guess is after tuesday your ibook will instantly lose 20-30 percent of it's current value depending apon the magnitude of the update.

The terms of the educational discount specify that you can only use it to purchase one notebook computer per academic year; I don't know whether enforcement of this is coded into the Apple Store website or not, but you probably don't want to get caught unable to buy a replacement....

You're getting a new one . Just my opinion. The 7-10 days I think marked the point when Apple probably stopped shipping. It would really suck if you got this one on Monday or Tuesday (I'd honestly raise holy hell if that happened).

Yes, well it all depends. If I get a new one, I am going to be pretty happy. Especially if it comes with BT and 60GB and I save money!

However, I could be extremely happy if I get an old one too. When the 1.2Ghz came out, the Apple stores had the 1Ghz for $799. That's $200 off. If I get the old one and get $200 back, I would probably be happier than if I got a new one for a little less because of the BTO'd things.

Which ever way it works out, I'll be overjoyed that I actually have one in my hands. It's all too exciting though and I can't wait to see what happens!
