I&#039;m buying a new Apple [BLANK]

So, I'm switching jobs (you may have heard) and therefore I had to turn in my 15-inch PowerBook (Fare thee well, Kurosawa; you served me well). I've set up a temporary user account on my wife's 12-inch PowerBook, which I have temporarily usurped.

But, I'm very excited, because for the first time in a long time, I'm ready. I'm waiting to buy a new computer and it's falling nicely in time with the Stevenote and possible new hardware announcements. Whatever they announce at the Keynote (btw, we have a whole slew of TUAWers there and will be live chatcasting the event with multiple detailed posts to follow), Intel-chipped PowerBooks, iBooks, Mac mini entertainment centers, an Intel-chipped iTablet, or something entirely new, I'm getting one as fast as I can and reporting all the details back to you all as soon as I get it. If there are multiple options available, I'll post back here and get your input. I'll want to order ASAP, so check back for a poll: what should C.K. order / what do you want reporting on first?

It's like Christmas morning all over again!

This morning I had every intention of waiting for the video of the keynote and avoiding the news until I could see it by studying for an exam.

Well, apparently Steve's Reality Distortion Field is already reaching Philadelphia because I haven't gotten anything done except for searching for rumors all morning.

Let's see that chatcast!

Apple will introduce only one new computer today, the "Macbook." The Macbook will take the place of the iBook AND Powerbook lines and will be able to be configured from low-end through the high-end depending on user need. All will come equiped with Intel Dual-Core Yonah based processors and will ship next month, although you will be able to order them today. There will be no new Mac mini computer announced today.

Just thought you'd like to know, but the apple store is down as well, but states it will be back within the hour.
Ohh I can hardly wait.
