I've worked on both iBooks and PowerBooks, PowerBooks are better by far. I don't know much about PC laptops, but Slashdot had an article about being able to return Vista licenses for cash money (with a non- disclosure agreement to never talk about returning Vista), and with the cheap prices of PC Dual Core Duo's I'd consider one with either Ubuntu linux or the Hackintosh route. I'd think a really decent new equivalent of a high-end MacBook Pro might be $500-600? (I don't pay attention, perhaps I'm way off, but my friends all talk about the fantastic cheap prices these days in this range). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
