Hi Guys I'm tired of waiting.
But I'll wait if anyone tells me that the upgrades are worth the wait.
I dont mind upgrading the RAM myself by customizing the G4, but will they come out with colored or widescreen ibooks soon?
If it's unlikely can someone put my mind at ease and tell me to buy it now!?!
Help.

Iliana :confused: :) :rolleyes: ;) :D :cool: :eek: :mad: :(
 
you are going to get about 50000000 different kinds of replies on this topic.

look at the specs and if satisfies you then buy it.

you can never catch up to technology, when they update the i series, then they will update the power series and watch you will catch yourself kicking yourself saying why didnt i wait. just make the decision based on whats out now. if its not enough then wait, if it gets the job done then buy the darn thing.

i am so tired of like 34834738345 threads on this topic every week! :eek:
 
(laughs)

There really are so many threads on the front page about these ibook/powerbook buying guides in particular.

My advice is the same :-

If you have the urge to buy it, buy the damn thing!! You can hesitate all your life, but what will it gain you? You have two choices; you can either satisfy yourself and watch technology increase sooner or you can make do with what you have now, struggle, and buy later.

Me? I'm all for buying now. But then I frequently sell and buy on eBay - preferring to upgrade often. It often costs, but it does make life fun!! You cannot imagine the fun unwrapping that shiny new Powerbook...(drool & reaches for the Apple store bookmark)

Then go ahead and buy it and enjoy it.

Oh the other hand, the upgrades will be worth it. Faster CPU, faster GPU with more memory (64MB?), 512MB RAM standard, larger HDD, etc.

So, just wait.

Help.
Probably not. So I guess that means you should buy now and enjoy it.
