w00t.

getting the base model 15", hopefully i can pick it up from the apple store tomorrow. i lost my student ID, but i have my alumni card, and i take grad classes still. so hopefully theyll give me the student discount so i can buy it there. if not, gotta buy it online :|

anyways, ill post a review and pics when i get it, i really cant wait. i was going to get a powermac, but i like the portability of a notebook, and am ready to move from an ibook to a powerbook.

in summary, w00t.
 
make sure to either a) get raped and get it with a gig of ram or b) upgrade to a gig of ram asap, you'll notice the difference especially if you're a 'power' user (as i inferred from your considering a power mac).

just picked it up.

its love.

my ibook gets much better wireless reception tho.

used the setup assistant via firewire, and it moved everything over in a breeze.

full review coming soon :)
 
yeah..the Airport antena is more exposed on the iBook (plastic case vs metal case with little plastic windows) so there will be a difference....but if you have a connection that is all you really need...congrats
 
i can still get access where i need too, its just a 4 vs 5 bars thing in my living room, no biggie.

love it so far, if you havent used the setup assistant yet, it really is neat.

told me i had 10 hours left tho, and it took about 30minutes to transfer my 40 gigs worth of junk.
