"thinking about getting a macbook"


          

so i'm thinking about upgrading to a macbook (the black one)

should i wait? is there new stuff coming down the pipeline? i'm using a powerbook g4 right now with 1.33ghz and 512mb ram. it's beginning to fall apart. literally. the case on the left side is coming loose, the keyboard is popping, my safari shuts down every so often but i've used it really hard for a good 3 years and its gone through one hard drive replacement.

i've heard people have been having problems with the new intel laptops so i've been leery but i might make the dive. any suggestions? thanks

and sorry if there are hella posts like this already, but whatever

EDIT: i just checked the apple site and now it says it's supposed to come out sometime in Spring. i'm looking into a MacBook as well.

they did get rid of the iceskating rink.

yeah, it's all alright looking place now. i'd still rather to go valley fair though.

but if there is going to be some kind of hardware upgrade sometime soon, then i'll wait. i get the student discount, too, so it'd cost like $1400
