Hey im looking for a solide 12 inch laptop thats no more than like 1350 about.

Any ideas?
Also I know this part should be in Apple forum but any1 know when a new viersion of iBook/PowerBook comes out?
 
As a general rule, Apple tends to update model lines around 6 months after the last update. It may be more if there's a technical reason to delay the update (waiting for certain chips, etc.).

The PowerBook line was updated in September last year, and the iBook line in November. That means that the earliest update could be in March, to the PowerBooks.
 
I'd say go with either the iBook or the IBM X31 (or 40 if you wait) series.

The powerbooks aren't that sturdy, and aren't much better than the iBooks, so you could save some money there over the powerbook. The IBM is real well built and not too flashy (which I like).
 
got x30, it is awesome :)
go for ibm. the x31 was on sale for $999 before. now you can get x40 which is only 2.7lbs
 
The only thing that the Powerbook has over the iBook is just double the L2, can max ram over 1gb, and a nicer paint job.

Other than that, the 12" iBook is the best way to go.
It is cheaper
It has longer battery life
It uses the same screen as the Powerbook 12"
It still looks cool
O, did I mention that it is cheaper, hehe
