I have the chance to buy a 15" powerbook for $1400 from my school. I am wondering what you all think I should do, buy the powerbook or hold off and buy the 15" macbook pro for $1800? I am a little scared to buy the macbook because I have a feeling it will be replaced by a better version with more features soon. Let me know what you think.

err..yeah, of course it will...before the end of this year there will be a bigger and badder Macbook pro.
But I'm confused by your fear....you're afraid to buy a MBP because it will be replaced by a better version with more features...yet you are willing to buy a Powerbook???? I'd go with the MBP...definitely. if the PB was $400 cheaper, then it'd be a different story. That's how much I'd pay for the last two Powerbook variants right now, specially a USED one. Jebus Google, just buy Apple already... |

It would be exactly the same as the macbook pro. 1.67 processor speed, 512 RAM, 80 gig hard drive and so forth. The only difference I think would be the size but you all already knew that.

The current MacBook Pro will be replaced eventually, but not in the way that the PowerBook is being replaced. If you're concerned about the future, there is little reason to buy a PB. |

Totally awesome.

Plus the Macbook has a faster fsb, which is probably what helps Apple make the 'faster' claims. Less bottlenecking...I wish my PB had that.

i agree.. i think the macbook makes more sense because it will probably only be size changes in the near future, while the jump from a powerbook to the macbook is a considerable speed difference.
