Yeah, I feel the same way as you Randman. For anyone who has asked me recently if its worth waiting for a G5 PowerBook to be released, I've told them simply No. These are not likely to be released in the first half of this year, and even when they are released, they're not going to be much faster than the existing G4s. Now, if you want to hang around until September-December-ish which is what my best info suggests is the date for the launch of the G5 PowerBook, and then wait another 6-8 weeks for one to be delivered, and then have a cry on the forums because a 1.6 ghz G5 is only marginally faster than a 1.5 ghz G4, then frankly I don't want to hear it.

The current PowerBook is powerful, well designed, proven and very affordable. If that's not good enough for you, you will not find a better laptop anywhere else - period.
