Is now a good time for buying PB?
There were once four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Somebody had to do a job, but Nobody wanted to do it. Nobody could see that Anybody could do it, and Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Well, did a lot change since you considered buying it the last time (your April thread) ?

What does the Mac Rumors Buyer's guide suggest? Any changes since last month? Right now it's on neutral.

It always comes down to the same problem: If you need it, get it. If you are willing to wait for the next big revision (i.e. maybe HD widescreen and later G5 sometime in the future?), wait. There will always be something better coming along with the next update. Always, no matter when you buy.

If it were me, I would wait until MacWorld coming up in about 3 weeks, June 6-10, 2005. Since the Powerbooks haven't been truly "updated" in a while, I'm guessing that they'll release updated PowerBooks. Just my guess.

You're right. Like 90% of the posts are related this very same subject.
