Buying a new Apple computer

my sister needs a new computer (she is a graphic designer so that is why she needs a Mac)

im wondering if she should wait till the intel chips come out for them

she will be purchasing a powerbook (i hear they are supposed to be one of the 1st models to get the intel chips)

what would you all do?

and/or what do you think is the best option?

P.S. i asked the apple rep at work, he was saying that there really is going to be no differance... but i believe he just wanted to sell an apple laptop as soon as possible
 
I do Graphics/3D. I want an Apple laptop, but I'm going to wait until the Intel ones are out, and I already have an Apple desktop. At least wait for a G5...
What I did was buy RAM for the Apple desktop so it's still nicely speedy and not giving me issues for now, and I will be upgrading to Tiger this weekend- I just finished a serious back-up. I'm actually also planning on getting a PC on the side, just for games like Civilization 4. 😛

no knowing much about apples i can only go on what i have read on the apple site and when they released their intel items. i believe they found a single 3.4GHz intel faster than their dual G5, somebody correct me if i am wrong, but that is what i remember. so i would wait for a intel based product.

just out of curiosity, since they make both of the majority of graphic design software in both pc/mac flavors(adobe, macromedia, etc), why do all the graphic artists still like mac better? especially after apple themselves proved that the intel platform was faster.
 
depends on urgency. and yes the powerbooks really need intel. ibm screwed up with the g5 laptop chip sadly
