Hi guys, I need an opinion. Or several as the case may be.
I'm torn between buying a new 12" ibook G4 and a 12" Powerbook. It has to be 12". I really like the new ibook but am concerned about having only an 800mhz processor and the smaller cache and lesser graphics. I can however, trick the thing out with 640mb of ram, airport and the 3 year extended warranty for about the same price as the powerbook with the options I need. The Powerbook however is faster, has a bigger cache and better video. Plus I could always upgrade the ram far beyond what the ibook allows right? I guess what I'm asking for are your opinions on which book to buy. I will be using it for mostly internet and word processing, but will need the occasional power to run gis applications or some other apps. How good is the 800mhz ibook compared to the 1ghz powerbook? To muddy the water more, what about the 867mhz powerbook? It has different video than both of the others though right? Thanks in advance! Feel free to reply offlist if this has been discussed too recently! -Ben -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
