I must very respectfully agree with Beverly. Part of the reason I never bought a 1400 was that there was still MAJOR compromises with the Powerbook. It still only had one speaker, smaller HD, slow CD-ROM, smaller screen, slower processor, but most important of all, the limitation of 64 megs of RA

I paid $495 which also included an external Zip drive, some disks and an ADB mouse. And yes, it is a 1400c. >From: Paul Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PowerBooks) >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PowerBooks) >Subject: Re: Which PB? 1400 or 34

Re: Which PB? 1400 or 3400?

I bought a PB1400cs/166/40/1G on eBay a couple of months ago for £225 (say $350), mainly to use as a wordprocessing machine for the 'Great UK Novel' which will probably never happen ;-) I also own a Pismo (Powerbook G3 400 Firewire), which whips through all manner of digital video and audio tasks

Re: Which PB? 1400 or 3400?

I agree with Joseph, I've owned a 3400/180 with 144 RAM and used it for 3+ years in architecture school. It was a real workhorse, and for it's time, a speed demon. There wasn't anything I couldn't run on a similar desktop. Having owned a 520c, 2300c, and now a Pismo, it was truly the first full-

Re: Which PB? 1400 or 3400?

I would strongly reccomend the 3400. I used to own a 1400 and was disappointed really with it. However while in college my buddies 3400/200 easily outpaced my PowerMac 6500/225 on many operations, I of course was green with envy. The 3400 is proven, solid and dependable. $500 for one seems lik

Which PB? 1400 or 3400?

I am interested in purchasing a laptop for my 14 year old daughter and am looking for recommendations related to either the PB 1400 or 3400. While I am sure that she would prefer an Indigo iBook 366 or a G3 Wallstreet system, these systems are not in my budget. I have seen the 1400c (or cs) 1
