ive been an ardent dis-believer in a surprise g5 pb update for months now. but since a few days ago, for some reason, my skeptisism has been tweaked hard. its been an eternity for the 15 update, and i think its way outdated - even if only comparing it to apples other models. bringing it up to date with the other "current" models seem very un-apple like. while not an absolute dissappointment, now it would seem like more of a surprise if the updates were minor speed bumps, al chassis, etc. and not a "major" update. but im basing this solely on time. it would "appear" that the engineers, manufactures, etc. have now had enough time to produce, or at least announce a g5 pb lineup. then again, mwsf is what... 5 months away... say it aint so.

I reckon the Apple stores will be updated all at once.
They usually do. Or pretty close to each other anyway.

I know all of us are hoping for G5 PBooks, but I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet, we've all been patient so far, no need to get all fired up at the last minute so that instead of being wowed, we're all let down.

If the AIM on Windows won't let you join, try the windows port of GAIM. http://gaim.sf.net

Worldwide Chaos if Steve Screws Us On Powerbooks!
Im still sitting here with my G3, still waiting for an update to the 15" PB. Judging by all of the posts I am reading here, I believe I am not the only one waiting in grave anticipation.
I predict wide spread riots if Jobs doesn't unveil at the least an updated G4 15" PB
Please Steve! I have been wanting to upgrade for months now. PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW POWERBOOK DAMNIT!

Alas, with so many folks waiting, I suspect we'll still be waiting months to receive our new 15" PBs, even if they do announce them.

15" 1GHz Powerbooks have been showing 5-7 day waits at AppleStore US for the past 24 hours or so, so that grab from the French(?) AS doesn't mean anything to me. Check the other thread where someone reports an Apple Store in the South has the new low-end 15" w/ 1Ghz.

My story for staying up all Night until 4-5am EST
I am an Artist
a company wanted to do a 16 month calendar using my art and story to give out to clients
as part of my pay I got a 17" PB
I asked them to wait until Sept 20th but they would not
so I got the 17" on Friday with extra ram... the extra ram was bad not my PB is fried... monday morning called Apple Care they are sending me a box later today Tuesday to send it in for Repair...
Talked to the company I did the project with and they are finding out if they should just replace it for me they told me to hold off on sending it to Apple they may want to replace it, they need to get that approved.
If they do want to replace it, I hope I can upgrade to whatever Paris brings this morning.
the 17" PB is the most beautiful thing I've ever had if it was not for the bad ram I would be up waiting to see what the update is but would never trade my baby in.

Could be, but there seems to be the possibility of a 12" update too. My sales rep at PC Mall who receives their stock from Ingram Micro has told me that there are very few of all PB's in the pipeline. Also I think this is a posibility because there were no PB's visable at the Apple area in the Expo pics in the previous thread.
Guess we have to wait and see.
2 hours and 30 min to go...
I'm in now thanks to mTNbike, but for future reference, how exactly do I do that (I'd like to think I'm not dense, but I tried for nearly an hour with no luck)
