    I wouldn't worry too much about the switch to Intel. PowerBooks and iBooks won't be switching over soon, and the first machines to go 'Mactel' will be the mac-mini. So if you need a laptop now, and you want a mac, buy a PPC powered one.

    PPC wipes the floor with intel anyway. Snap up the PPC's while theyre still available :)

    If you already have a mac... wait for the mactels
    if you don't... go ahead and get a mc now

    that's my thinking
