Maybe this is old news on this forum, but I was in a mac store yesterday and the people there told me the Powerbook G5 is definately on its way. Maybe june this year...

Graphite said:I see only two possibilities.
A june/summer release 2004, which I give a 40% chance to.
or..
A june/summer release 2005, which I give a 90% chance to.
each date is its own statistic.
winter releases are so minor, it would just be crazy for apple to release anything so large.
Graphite said:hmm.. buying a PB after the superbowl hoping they release something... well, if you wait till then.. you might as well weight until summer for those releases, unless you cannot wait another day![]()
southside said:Graphite,
need mobility sooner than later for a home move this Spring...
could wait seveal more months for a P5 Powerbook, but don't want to be without compute power during our move (as I was last time, 5 years ago), and we currently only have a very dependable, 4 year old, Dell PIII desktop running XP Pro...
an_other idea that haunts me is to go with a cheaper IBOOK now, and then later after the move - get a P5 desktop... don't think that idea (the P5 desktop later part of it) would make sense to my partner/advisor in financial affairs (my wife - the more logical of the two of us when it comes to buying decisions)... I want DVD write capability especially so that I could get that cool, free (with a Mac) program, IDVD...
am very psyched to get my first Mac... can't believe I have waited this long, but the forums and other readings have definitely helped me to learn TONS about Macs, OS/X, etc, etc...
either way I will watch the SuperBowl on Sunday - if not for the game, then for the always entertaining advertisements (including the Apple/Pepsi ad)...
Graphite - how long have you owned Macs? how many have you owned? how much do you like them?
have a great Thursday!,
