Hi guys,
I need a Mac notebook for school this fall and was looking at the iBook or Powerbook. The specs for the configurations I was interested in are as follows:
iBook 1.2GHz Combo (14"TFT) $1,649.00
512MB DDR266 (256MB built-in & 256MB SODIMM)
AirPort Extreme Card
60GB Ultra ATA drive
SuperDrive (DVD-R/CDRW)
PowerBook 15.2TFT/1.5GHz $2,299.00
1.5GHz PowerPC G4 with
64MB Graphics Memory
80GB Ultra ATA drive
SuperDrive (DVD-R/CDRW)
Backlit Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English
512MB DDR333 SDRAM - 2x256 SO-DIMMs
AirPort Extreme Card
The Powerbook is really slick but is it worth the extra $600? BTW, I'll be using it for everything except heavy duty numerical computation and image generation and manipulation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...Saaby? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
