Apple booth without Surprises?

if any of you noticed, thinksecret has posted that the apple booth is open.... meaning that there won't be any new products announced.....

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Well, that would be a real bummer. But, perhaps a 15" update isn't a NEW product, as much as it is an update to an existing product...

I'm still hopeful that tomorrow's Apple Store will have an updated 15" notebook that is orderable.

Maybe I'm just smoking something.

If there's nothing announced, and I'm buying a new notebook, the question then becomes should I buy the 17" to get the most modern of the laptops available, or should I get the 15" and live with being a few months back...

I don't think continuing to wait is an option, if they don't announce new Pbooks now, then something is holding them up.

gee... no new PB 15" still?

Suprise surprise...

Can I now say that Apple has dropped the ball? Year of the what again?

Uh huh. Sure. Whatever.

Me thinks SJ needs to think before he opens his mouth. I however do not, seeming as I am infallible (NOT).

Jim, the PB 17" is old enough to warrant an update. That is how far behind the 15" is...

But tomorrow is Tuesday.....that's when all the rumors say you'll get an update....who knows? But if nothing comes out new tomorrow it will definitely lower my chances of going now....

i hope that this is one of those announments where they dont' have the machines ready to be used.....

it would make sense to follow the apple scheme of trying to kill the assumption that major announments comes at conferences....

but i hope they have one of those "tuesday sprees" where they update everything.... that would be nice......

All of the powerbooks are definitely in need of a refresh, the 15" especially so.

BUT, at least the 17" is fresher than the 15".

Honestly, the current 15" is just fine for my needs, the reason I've been holding off it to try to make sure I get the most for my money (i.e. tomorrow there may be a 1.25Ghz, with Airport Extreme, FW800, 80 GIg HD at the same price point. That would be a bummer to miss...). The Al vs. Ti case isn't a big deal to me, nor a backlit keyboard, nor better graphics.... AE would be nice, as well as a bumped processor.

I still believe something will be happening tomorrow or Wed at the latest.

It looks like we will have to wait until MW Paris to see the new PowerBook line.

Were the 15 inch PBs rumored to be announced Tuesday? Or is it Wednesday? Isn't "Joz's" presentation on Wednesday?

Too much waiting. I want to know now ;)

people have been saying for months "they're just around the corner." my theory is that we see 1.2 Ghz G4 powerbooks in 2006.

this is just ridiculous, school is right around the corner, and i've convinced at least 3 people to get powerbooks, and i keep saying...just wait a bit, wait a bit... they really need to update these things, i mean 6 months is too long not to update.
