I've been putting off buying a new mac as well. Mac has been moving their line of computers from the old chips to the new Intel based ones. I don't think there's many models besides the 'Tower' which have not switched over. (most of the laptops are now Intel) So if you looking for more bang for your buck you could wait until the next model is released with the new chipset and buy the older model. But this Intel chip has advantages like the PC bootup. (and all future software will be designed with it in mind) What are your options for a machine? Does it need to be portable?

Anyone know if the date has been set for the new Tower models?
