Thanks for all the good thoughts about upgrading from G4 to either G5 or Intel iMac. It was very helpful.
Another option I am toying with is replacing my G4 tower with a Macbook laptop, We already have one as a family computer and it is great. I also have one at work. I could integrate one into my desktop system like an iMac, use the pair of 19" monitors I already have (the Matrox DualHead2Go works very well with a MacBook. I use one at work in a theatrical set up with a pair of projectors.) It looks as though MacBooks of similar speed are about the same price as iMacs, though if you look at a 24 iMac you can do a lot better with a laptop and external monitors. And I really like the trackpad on MacBooks, useful in addition to my trackball and other input devices. So that's the upside. What am I overlooking as the downside to using a laptop as the center of a destop system? If I push it hard for a long time, will it overheat? Do internals last as long? What am I missing?
