Hey all~

I'm in desperate need of a new laptop, still rocking the Powerbook G4. Needed for class now, needed for trip to Japan at the end of April.

Wait for an unkown re-vamped model, unknown release date?

Buy one now because it's here now?
 
If you aren't going til the end of april, I would at least wait March. If by the last Tuesday in March we don't see new models then buy. Even if you don't need the new technology (whatever that may be) you will be kicking yourself if you buy one and then the new ones come out.
 
That's a relatively solid theory, waiting, the powerbook could suffice. Class is such a demand, but I'm all about the latest and greatest.
 
That's a relatively solid theory, but I need it for class now. I don't think I can make it 3 more months without a laptop.

Well, if you think you really, really need it right now, then go ahead and buy one. I don't know why did you even ask if you had already decided.
 
Well "could suffice" would basically be suffering as it has trouble performing some of the daily functions. But the difference from suffering for two more months could be worth it.
