My guess was that the delay over the last month or more was because they were going to G5s. If it was just an aluminum 15 and speed bumped 12 and 17 they could have brought them out sooner. Why else such a delay on the aluminum 15 after the 12 and 17? I really was thinking I might be able to go out and buy a PowerBook G5 this afternoon!

Now they'll probably wait until MacWorld. I think a VP of hardware is giving the keynote, so al-15 is probably his big talking point.

I'm expressing my disappointment by writing this message from within Galeon on Linux...

They'll probably announce it in July. Is Steve Keynoting the NY Conference?

I was surprised no G4 15 in, but I think Apple may wait for the G5 tibooks. I am worried about heat from such a robust machine, the G4s are hot enough I hear. Anyone know the timeline for putting G5s in the laptops.

was surprised no laptops showed up. but as I'm *just* about to buy a new one I wasn't so upset. ibook or powerbook 12": that is the question!

My best guess - watch for a relatively quiet upgrade in the next few weeks.
