I bought one of the first batches of Ford Focus hatchbacks. It had 14 recalls. I also bought one of the first 12" Aluminum PowerBooks. It didn't have 14 recalls, but it had its share of bugs to shake out.
The first Intel machines will be an experiment. And, at that, I thought I heard they'd be replacing the low-end machines first. So where's this G5 come out as obsolete?
Although I have high hopes for the Intel transition for Apple, and I plan to own one in a few years, my next upgrade will be to a 15" PowerBook G4 in the next few months. I'll expect it to be a mature product, and I expect it'll age well while developers make the jump to Intel binaries. By 2008 or so, I might just be ready to hop on over to the new machines.
