Looks like april 13th might be the day
So Apple Australia just extended 2 promotions on their website. Both involving the powerbook. Previously these were finishing in March, now they both say April 13th.

The education deal is pretty sweet actually, might be worth getting it anyways.

I forgot to mention, I didn't realise all hardware sold on Apple Australia's Education site includes a 3 year warranty standard along with the discount. This is pretty nice of them.

Its been that way for years, it even includes ipods. However, the havemorefun promo sucks, you can't get CTO models and you have to buy the specified models to be eligible.
catered to order otherwise known as BTO (built to order). ie when you can only get internal Bluetooth and upgraded hard drive as CTO.floyd_gadget said:

If you get the Powerbook be sure and order the faster 80 gig 5200rpm hard drive. The stock hard drive is pathetically slow at 4200 rpm.
Also get at least 1 gig of RAM from a third party vendor. (Apple is way too expensive for their RAM prices)
I kinda saw that coming. 🙁 But of course I'm still hoping.. Has Apple ever released anything on a Friday or Saturday ?

I'll give Powerpage the benefit of the doubt, and say that Saturday includes this week. So, still one more day to go. If they aren't released tomorrow though... never visiting Powerpage ever again, after he stated as FACT that they would be released this week. If it's a rumor... call it a rumor, don't state is as fact or you're just flushing your credibility down the toilet. 😡
Okay, I read through most of the posts here.......
What's the verdict was there an update or no?

Good that there's no new pb since I just got my new PB last week after placing order within a week. If there's any update, my PB should have arrived later than this with some delay notice.
I wouldn't mind if Apple's going release new PB in couple of months 🙁

Actually, if MacRumors Buyer's Guide is to be believed, they were released on October 22nd, which was a Wednesday. Oh well...
OK Fine.
There will be a new laptop this week. This isn't speculation. This isn't a guess. Trust me. I have reason to know.

No
Yeah, this week that's over. No not this week (thats ending today). But this coming week. I figured an intelligent person would realize what I meant... but I guess not. And history will be my vindication. This coming week. Also I don't need to justify myself or my knowledge and being new to this forum has nothing to do with legitimacy. But since you dont care for my info..I will post no more.
