Timeline: New Mac Laptop thingie... buy or wait
What I really want is a 7" or 10" UMPC thingie with multi-touch instead of keyboard and mouse. NAND flash hard drive for instant on/off. I want this to replace my PPC 12" Powerbook.
I put together the above timeline using MacTimeline.com to answer the question... Hold out, or update for now with a new 13" Macbook.
Hunch... Jan 2008 MacWorld San Fransisco, Apple will release my dream "MacPad", so I should base my decision on a 4 to 5 month window. Looks like an upgrade for now, or perhaps go back to Ubuntu at home and try out a UMPC form factor tablet thingie.

Me too -- as a added bonus you'd get Leopard too!
