cq_ Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 people who bought macs 1 month before panther was released got a free upgrade cupon. anyways, if you are looking for a new piece of hardware around the time of an apporaching event, always wait untill after it... most of the time you will be kicking your self after the event if you bought the hardware before Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/265824-ibook-g4-12ghz-12/#findComment-585219004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimera Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I bought a 12" iBook G4 to replace my G3 800 just before Xmas. The iBook line was only updated in October, so I doubt there will be any updates next week in San Fran. Also, Amazon have a $100 rebate on the 12" so you can pick one up for $899 after rebate. Throw in a cheap 256 of 512mb SoDimm and you have a kick-ass laptop that will last you for a good while. I love mine...

thetechroom Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 To be honest I don't think Apple will be introducing any iBook updates, however its always good to know when the Tiger OS will be released, so you can buy it within a month of the release date.

Got any source for that bit of info? 585221699[/snapback] In MacWorld Expo, iWork 05 will be introduced... Since Tiger release date is sometime in March, I assumed...lol...

dougal.s Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I ordered my new iBook G4 12" on NYD, and it was shipped today! :D I decided to get it while I actually had the cash, rather than waiting. Will ebay my panther disks before tiger comes out, that way giving me the money (I get student discount) to buy Tiger :) I severly doubt (hope) that there is no updates to the iBook line, although the rumoured updates to the 12" PB are interesting; 1.5Ghz in a 12" form factor!
