Buy a PowerPC Powerbook, please

By Scott McNulty

Crazy Apple Rumors' crack team of investigative reporters has uncovered Apple's plans to beat the fabled 'Osbourne Effect.' The rumor of the day (and several past days) is that Apple will be unveiling new Mactel (do I really have to use that word?) Powerbooks this January at MacWorld. This is only a rumor, but it is bound to make Mac users in the know rethink purchasing a new Powerbook until after the Stevenote at least.

CARS reports that Apple is spreading the word that the first iteration of Intel based Powerbooks will be buggy, so why not buy a stable, mature Powerbook based on the PowerPC, while you still can.

This is funny, of course, because Apple's first iteration products tend to have... challenges that get ironed out in the second or third versions. With that being said, who amongst you is going to buy the first Intel based Mac you can get your hands on?
