I have been wanting to do the same thing. I was thinking of upgrading to a powerbook 17" but does it really hold a candle to say a Dell XPS laptop ... And something I have been contemplating about the powerbook. If I did by a powerbook, am I just buying an obsolete machine with the new INTEL Macs just on the horizon?? If I am going to spend 2500-3000k on a laptop, I would bet I can get more miles out of the Dell. My suggestion.. If you are going to buy a mac. Grab a Mini to get your feet wet. By then, once your somfortable with em, the picture should be clearer where Apple is going with Intel...
On another note, I would be the first on my block to buy Mac OSX for the PC in a heartbeat if Apple decided to licence it as a standalone OS (Read: cold day in hell) Jeff On 10/24/05, Ben Doom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Tony wrote: > > i really want a mac, as i want to broaden my horizons, and will probably > make > > the leap with a powerbook, or is it ibook? > > Powerbooks are the high-end laptops, iBooks the lesser.
