That's why I purchased a 1Ghz Tibook 1.5 years ago. You have to time your purchases to get the maximum benefit. I ended up saving $400, getting it loaded with free shipping and at 6mos. no int/no payment. The bumps to the powerbook line over this time haven't put me in the dust by much.
Now about the G5... we're just getting the spring update late. Problems at IBM's fab (shrinking G5's from 130nm to 90nm) are the culprit. Now the fabs are back to where they should have been by now. The next update (Rev. C) will be much better. Other tech such as PCI Express and possibly the IBM 975 will make this machine a HUGE leap rather than a spec bump.
