[Ugg]

thanks! that makes me feel alot better about the powerbook i just got an hour ago I could've saved some if I had went with the ibook, but the edu $100 rebate doesn't include the ibook 12" anyway, and I needed closed-cover external display. besides....it's a powerbook eh that, a printer, and applecare set me (..or my parents i guess) back $1800 but I FINALLY SWITCHED! now to change my sig...
oh btw is applecare worth $250? any regrets...people who did/didn't get it?

Hey, congratulations!

As far as Apple Care, I'm going to get it but not right now. The warranty is good for a year and Apple Care can be purchased up until the last day the warranty is valid. I think it is worth it especially with laptops.

There are a couple of threads somewhere where people talk about how much they wished they had/hadn't bought Apple Care. Remember, you have a year to decide so no hurry, just remember though if you wait a year and a day it will be too late..

i plan on using this computer for 2 more years in college, so this will be good.

i'm happy with my purchase and look forward to using it on my trip.

Well, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

My 12" iBook's been my pride and joy for the last couple of years now. I'm starting to make the next move toward a PB though - probably with a 15" screen. As I use my iBook as both my day-to-day work computer and a home desktop, I'm starting to find it getting slightly hard on the old eyes!

But now I'm using Keynotes more and more, I think a move up to a slightly more powerful machine is going to be worthwhile (especially as the actual lsize of the PB isn't much bigger than the iBook!).

Luckily, all the stuff about the move to Intel doesn't bother me at all. I have all the good software I need, and certainly for the next couple of years, all the new software out will be compatible with both PPC and Intel, so no one should really put off buying a new model in the near future!

I'm fairly sure that I won't be getting rid of my iBook though - it's just lovely, and it'll make a great 3rd computer in the old homestead.

When you need a computer, you need a computer. If you're buying an Apple product, you're buying the best. Be happy. Buy your new machine.

Hardware becomes obsolete. Waiting will not change this.

My 4th Gen iPod is less than a year old. I often see iPod Photos on sale for less than what I paid in '04 -- i.e. 60gigs + color display for less then I paid for 40gigs + monochrome display.

But alas, I will not fret.
