i think he was talking about the price :) IMHO, it all depends on what you're doing with it, as to whether the extra cost is worth it. if you're playing a few games, browsing the web, and checking email mostly, with small smatterings of iMovie thrown in for good measure, the iBook is a great option at a great value. if you're spending most of your time in content creation apps (PhotoShop, iMovie, Quark, Final Cut Pro), then the PowerBook G4 is the way to go. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
