Doh! I just bought a new G4 Powerbook in December and today i found out that a 17" G4 Powerbook is out!!!
Man, sometimes I just hate Apple.
Auto-brightness on screen and KEYBOARD!!! Built-in bluetooth (which i've been dying for) and firewire2.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Apple just made one of their customers feel like a chump.

thats the risk you take when you buy computers. outdated before its out of the box.
so this "built in bluetooth" isnt just "airport"?

thats what you get for not knowing that the conference was today. i dont even own a mac and even i knew that.

sell it.
absorb the loss
start over.

I did that with iPod a couple of days before they came out with the new models and dropped prices. Apple refused a refund but the dealer made it up out of their own pocket. Springboard Electronics-my hats off to them.

feel the love, ah
first of all, this is my first mac. secondly, even mac rumors didn't tell me anything about this, nor did any of my inside mac sources.
but it's no real loss. since i still have the 23" hd cinema display.
nope, it's separate from the airport... bluetooth information tranferring for short distance wireless toys ;) such as the sony ericsson t68i.

ancientartz... you can sell it on ebay and not lose much at all. most likely less than $100.
i know because i was trying to get a new pb of ebay for two months now... still not cheap enough.
(although with the recent release, i am now thinking i'll buy new and sell an old computer to make up some of the extra cash)

waiving your fist in the air usually helps.

don't buy it! just think, what if the moment u buy that 17" G4, they'll come out with a new letterbox 21" G4??

this kinda shit happens all the time...

I think that this would be a safe laptop to buy for quite sometime. I mean 17 inches is big enough. . . WOuld you want to haul around anything bigger.
The only thing they can do is come out with speed bumps, but this thing is fast. And it will probably be another 2-3 years before a major powerbook release. Get it now if you can, savor it, save your cash again, and then buy the next one in a few years. . .

heck one day they'll even make a 5235" wide monitor.

Rule #1 with macs, never buy one until right after the keynote.
