Apple to hold special event next week:

And the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place

G5 laptops and G6 desktops. Looks my waiting has finally paid off.

If they can get the powerbook to work well with a G5, that would make my decision a lot easier. As long as it doesn't jack up the price a ton.

They won't. It would cost too much to implement a G5 into a laptop for the year or so it'll last before they do it all again with the intel chips.

Plus, this event is for the video iPod. Adding a G5 PowerBook would distract from that, which is the main event.

I'm still trying to decide on whether to go with a G5 desktop or a G4 laptop. The portable factor just seems really attractive to me right now. And in another year I'll be transferring out from my junior college to a standard school which makes the laptop even more ideal. Then again, it takes me a while to save up that much money, and for a bit less, I could get a G5 iMac, I'd like to get something with a lot of power since I wouldn't be getting another one for 4-5 years unless I become wealthy.

I wonder what Kramer would do?

In your situation, probably a laptop. I'm a desktop man myself, but my current situation has me with a PowerBook.

Desktops are so much faster, and I like the desk factor. I like being able to have docks setup, and I love dual monitors.

Needless to say, July of 07 has me buying a new G5 w/dual 23" cinemas

Ah, just for the record, I just found out my brother is getting the 2Gig Ipod Nano for his birthday. It'll be coming in the mail in a couple of days, although I wont get to see it out of the box until his birthday on the 26th.
