First off you can no longer buy a new PowerPC (G4) laptop from Apple.
All new Apple products run with intel processors. As far as VoiceOver
performance is concerned all new Apple laptops as well as the rest of
the product line will perform fine. So now you are simply looking at
the various models. As a general rule the bigger the screen the hight
the price in portables.
The prices range form $1099 for a 13" screen to $2799 for a portable
with a 17 inch monitor. Of course you can add all sorts of extras and
bring that price up quite a bit more.

Hi folks,
This is actually a two part question, since voice over does not
work with pro-tools.
If I can get both parts answered here terrific, if not I can ask
the pro tools variation on that list.
In terms of a mac laptop, which is best, by which I mean most
stable from a voice over standpoint with at least some of the
basics functional?
I know or as of last report, knew that a real word processor was
not as of yet an option, but in terms of things like browsing,
skype, and the like, what is the best lap top door. Can anyone
give a rough estimate of its cost too?
By contrast, if one wants to run pro tools from a laptop, what is
the last best mac option here?
A g4 ibook perhaps? one still able to run os 9.22?
Same price idea appreciated.
Please note, i am *only* interested in laptop options, nothing else
for this line of questioning.
Thanks all around,
