17 inch is a bit big for a laptop unless your the backpack sort.
I have a 15 inch Titanium Powerbook (Its about 5 years old now even has Apple Garamond on it instead of Apple Myriad for the "Powerbook" text) Still running great (dragging windows and Exposé is like butter) and has never had to be reformatted and I had one kernel panic in 5 years and I blame that on Maya.

WWDC is on June 11, if anything big is gonna happen then it will be then, I doubt Macbooks will get an overhaul seen as everyones bets are on the iMacs.

No point waiting till Leopard comes out because thats ages away yet and its only cheap to but it especially the student licence.

Make a new post when you get it so we can suggest the awesome applications!

Installing it on generic hardware is missing a good half of the point.

I like my computers to come with plain cases not covered in "powered by" and "designed for" stickers and with a well designed power supply not a chunky multi-cabled pile of shit.

Come on, they're actually cheaper than the well designed regular PCs (e.g the Thinkpad)
