Fusion Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 i just got my powerbook and i'm not too happy to here that they are newer models coming out.......... who else feels this way Does it make your powerbook any less magically somehow because there is something better out there?

xmr Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I'm happy as I'm likely to be buying one sometime soon... if you follow the Apple scene you'd know that they update their products every 5 - 8 months-ish. As it hasn't been updated since September I'm looking forward to an update. I probably won't be buying until July anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilsbury Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 If you kept your money, in 10 / 15 years, you could buy a 1THz PowerBook for the same money... ANY computer hardware is going to be replaced by a newer model in the space of a few months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoyablue Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I used to feel the sameway, and I was also a switcher so on the PC side, hardware becomes "old" fast. Soon, however, I realized that my PowerBook would last long (for at least a couple years, or at least until a G5 PB comes along) and I know I can eBay it for a good price if I ever wanted that G5 PowerBook. So... I am happy:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling3k12 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 My iBook hit the fan last Thursday (long story) so I'm gonna love these new PowerBook updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowpie Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Just bought a new 12'' Powerbook, should be interesting to see what they add....I'm not suspecting anything besides a speed bump, and a new feature here and there..... Doesnt make my 2 week old powerbook any less loveable :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebaz Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Well technology keeps moving foward no matter what. Besides not like your powerbook is obsolete or anything, just not the cutting edge, omg the lattest-uber stuff thing. Steve Job wont be calling any new powerbook owner and be like: SJ: "Uh..yea Mr. Blizzard, yea u know the mac-heads are gettin a bit restless with no updates for quite a while.." You: OMG teh Steve Jobs...go on SJ: "Yea..as i was sayin no updates for quite a while, so after my pondering of 25 new ipod mini colors, i decided to update..what are they called..ummm yea computers..oh yea we are Apple Computer after all" You: OK.... SJ: I already did the eMac, now its time for the Powerbook.. You: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! SJ: Oh God, please tell me you are gonna let me go ahead and update the powerbooks. I mean if you are not agreein with this update, Ill just go ahead and launch my 25 new ipod mini colors, and the new G5s and displays.. You: Well i always tought the ipod mini needed more colors.. SJ: Let me call my PR Department...*calls* DESTROY ALL THE POWERBOOKS!!! -No More powerbooks until Mr Blizzard's powerbook reaches the age of 6 months old You: And can i get a candy red ipod Mini? SJ: No.... You: But Why? SJ: Because you dont have an ipod mini to begin with You: You are a meanie Steve.. SJ: I know... *hangs up* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureEdit Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 My iBook G3 is still great, and it is about a year old now. A g4/g5 would be nice, but this is good enough for me and still better then anybody's wintel laptop I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Player Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 You should have paid better attention to what whas goin on in the mac world before you bought it...If you're lucky you can return it and get one of the newer ones or, honestly they're not THAT much better, its not going to destroy your world to NOT have the top of the line is it? Cuz if it is you're gonna be wasting ALOT of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STV Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I dont own an apple computer, but I kinda felt the same way that b|iZZaRd is feeling when I got my tablet pc. I bought a Toshiba Portege 3505 (WinXP TabletPC, 1.33GHz PIII, 40GB, 512MB) in june 2003, but a few months later toshiba released this Toshiba Portege M200(http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cmod.to?rcid=-26367&coid=-26385&ccid=1291041&seg=SMB&sel=0) and I felt like you are feeling now. I had a few months to use my tablet and realize its worth to me, however you only had your pb for what, a few days/weeks? but still, you have a nice new powerbook while others dont even have that. I am lucky to have my tablet, just as you are lucky to have a pb, just wait for the next cycle or even for a possible g5 pb in the future. just learn to like your computer dispite its "non-top-of-the-line"ness :). Just have fun with it, because like i said, you are lucky to have one. congrats on your purchase, STV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
