Are they selling the old ones cheaper somewhere?

good question. i'd bet there'll be a price cut in the channels on any remaining stock, but from what i've read Apple has been letting things dry up with the powerbooks for a while. I know the 15" would be hard to find since it's their most popular seller.

You have me to thank

hahah. I've been waiting 2 months for this release just to get a speed bump, 4x burner, and 128 meg mobile radeon for the same price point. It'll definitely be my main machine... prepare for lots of off topic posts from me re: the powerbook!
