The 550 combo and 667 combo will not change by MacWorld. Heck, for the next month, they'll barely be available in large quantities. On the other hand, Apple could add a new high-end machine (e.g., an...

I sort of wish I'd waited for the combo instead of buying my 550 six weeks ago. Luckily, my credit card company (AMEX) has a 60 day price guarantee, so I'll be getting $200 back because of the price...

$2208 - MacConnection 550 standard with Microsoft Word 2001 and Entourage.
Is the shipping less expensive on the 667? I paid for $14 for UPS ground shipping! MacConnection quoted me $29 for...

My Ti 550 finally arrived today, and I'm using it right now. I'm pleased to report that my LocalTalk bridge set-up works great. It's almost hard to believe that a free solution works so well. Thanks...

I looked into that, but it seems to run about $100. I'll give the free solution a shot first.
Thanks for all the responses. My 550 should arrive tomorrow. I checked UPS tracking and it's sat at the...

My Ti550 is scheduled to arrive in a few days. My current home machine is a Starmax 3000 (OS 9.1) with a LaserWriter 4/600 PS attached to its serial port. I do most of my printing at my office, but...

MacConnection is finally shipping their 550 bundles. Mine (bundled with MS Word/Entourage) shipped last night. I took the cheapo ground shipping, so it'll probably take 4 or 5 days.

If there's a wide gap between the sales price and the fair market value, someone has made a mistake or something is fishy.
A thief might sell a Rolex for $100. Of course, the thief understands that...

There's just no way this could be legitimate. What possible reason would they have for selling a 667 at such a ridiculously low price when they could just as easily sell it for hundreds of dollars...

In the U.S., the difference is more like $400. I ordered a bundle at MacConnection which includes Microsoft Word (a $150 value), which I need, so for me the difference between the 400 and 550 is more...

As someone who upgrades every 4-5 years, I agree with you to a certain extent. You can't buy "low-end" and expect a long useful life. However, I don't consider the TiBook 550 "low-end." At this point...

Over the last couple weeks, I have tried to decide between the various iBooks (500 & 600) and TiBooks (400, 500, 550 & 667). I finally decided on the Ti 550 for several reasons (in decreasing...

I'd actually prefer a CD-RW, but I'm buying the standard 550 DVD model. Here's why:
(1) Cost. Sure CD-RW is only a $100 upgrade, but since the Apple store charges sales tax on the computer it costs...

When I ordered a Ti 550 from MacConnection last week, they told me that they were expecting a shipment on October 30. Since that's today, I gave them a call. Now they're saying maybe November 2, but...

As a buyer of the new TiBook, I hope you're right. Only time will tell, though. Over the last three years, clock speeds have barely doubled in the Mac world, so that may explain the relatively high...

If you think it will give you peace of mind, go ahead and get it.
I'm also in the process of purchasing a new TiBook, but I'm probably going to skip the AppleCare for a few reasons:
