| Either way, in my opinion, you are going to get a sweet computer. I purchased my PB shortly after Apple announced the transition. Its not like your iBook will be unsupported the minute the intel iBooks are released.
If you're not the type that needs the latest and greatest, then go for the purchase now. You'll still getting a sweet computer that will be loyal for several years to come.
All I can say is this. I went to the local Apple store here in Albany NY. I played with the new MacBook Pro. It is a sweet computer, that is slightly faster than mine, from what I can tell by just using it in the store.
After the intel transition was announced, I knew I needed a new system, and did not hesitate to purchase a G4 PB. I know Apple and others are going to support the PPC processor within the life-time of this computer, and it meets all my needs. Personality, I am not running out the door to get a intel Mac, I am still pleased with the performance of this Mac.
The bottom line is this. If you need a computer today, get it today. If you can wait, then wait. Don't let the intel vs PPC thing rule your decision making. In my opinion. |
