I've decided on the 1400, but how much would a CD-RW drive that is compatable with the 1400 cost? Also, can you make copies of PC CDs with a Mac? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | -- Canon PowerSh

Re: Which model?

From what John says I figured out that basically he likes the 1xx series. And I think he is right! Personally I have several Macs, including a G5, but what it comes to write and to be very concentrated I switch to the 100 or, when I fancy the color to the 180c. The 140-180 saries are quite

Re: Which model?

I don't like the 520. I don't like the so called "intelligent" battery. I want a PowerPC, and I don't want to upgrade my 520. I want a faster computer that has a nice big color screen (the 1400c). -John -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and

Re: Which model?

I Must agree with everyone here about this issue,I have owned every type of power-book apple have made apart from the 2400 series and i think that if you want a low-end colour PB for typing, Then the 1400 would be the best choice. Also if you decide to improve the book over time then the Ram has a

Re: Which model?

John, It might be easier if you said how much you are willing/can afford to spend.. Then match $$ with features. I have a 1400cs, 133 and a meager 16 MB ram.. No lie the screen is adequate and overall it's pretty quick. The real beauty is it's crisp full-sized keyboard. I can and have ty

Re: Which model?

I'd also recommend a 1400 series. Mine is very robust, has a great keyboard, and goes on the internet wirelessly. Parts are readily available, and it is easy to upgrade the processor, if you wish. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www

Re: Which model?

The ubiquitous 1400c would be my choice for a low $$$ solution. Next, a 3400c. Note that the 1400 is a NuBus-based machine, and although it can accept PCMCIA cards, it cannot accept CardBus cards. Note also that the 3400 is a PCI-based machine, and although it cannot, ex-factory, accept CardB

Personal opinion, but I would stay away from the passive matrix screen models. I traveled with a 165c and a 520c for a long time, they were great machines but the screens wore out my eyes when I used them for long periods of time. I spent a year in Saudi Arabia with a 165c and the screen was wo
