I am one of the crazed powerbook users that has been waiting for a revision. I had the 17" powerbook but found it a bit difficult to use on airplanes...and as I travel about 20 times per year...and many of those are to the other coast (Im near Apple Headquarters in Cupertino) I find that I use a laptop on planes alot. And as a nightmare user (I do video, photography, desktop publishing, game hard, yadda yadda yadda) I push laptops pretty hard.

I turned the 17 over to one of my employees a while back (making them an addicted switcher) and waited for the revisions...for 3 months. I thought they would replace the 15 much sooner...and over the 3 months I realized how much I use a laptop...for music and watching movies on plane rides alone it was a big loss.

Today I got up at 5am to see if the units were released. I was stoked to find the 1.25ghz unit with the Radeon 9600 and an 80 gig harddrive as a standard unit. The 2 gigs of ram was a sweet add too. It was the perfect unit at the perfect price. I called my CDW rep and he already had 100 units that arrived this morning and he had already sold 67 of them in the 3 hours that they had been in.

My unit will be here in about 12 hours. Ill give pics and a full report as soon as it gets here!!!!

God I love being a Mac Addict.
