[Duo2400] Re: 2400 to Al/PB-12" Conversion Costs

Sun, 12 Jan 2003 20:53:15 -0800

I hate to think that Apple crippled the 12", I've heard that the GoForce 420 chip-set is pretty slow. I've also been seeing tests that the iBook 800 is close to its performance is real world usage. God help us if they drop the 15"'s muscle into it. MMMM 1MB L3 cache. I want to find comparisons against my Pbook G4 550 and the iBook 800. This is a true shame because I was getting really excited.

I've almost talked myself into waiting, once again, for Rev 2...

Al/PB-12" - $1800
Applecare - $349 (This hurts, I just bought a new ThinkPad and +2 Yrs was $132)
512MB Memory - $100
Airport Card - $100
MS Office - $200
USB Ext Keyboard/Mouse - $100(Wireless)
USB Smartmedia device - ? $30
Firewire to SCSI converter - ? $50
Other OSX Software Upgrades - ? $500 (Utilities, shareware, etc.)

Total - Appx $3000+?; Even if I go with the iBook it leaves me around $2500.

Kinda making my 2400/G3-320/112MB/30GB continue to look pretty good. Guess I'm getting tight in my old age, since I spent $3500 on a IIsi in the early 90's and was thrilled. ;-)
