Sounds to me like the PowerBook will be 100% competent for your work,although the MacBook is a long way ahead as a machine
Can you see your requirements expanding at all?a G4 PB is still a very capable machine at the end of the day but the MacBook is still a world apart regards Iain ----- Original Message ---- From: Jeff Smith <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, 30 May, 2009 10:03:37 PM Subject: PowerBook or MacBook Hello, I want to get some opinions from the experts. sometime in the near future I will be purchasing a new notebook computer. My main uses are internet applications, office utilities, and web design. I am between a used 15'' PowerBook G4 1.67Ghz with 2gb ram for around 700 - 800 with 10.4 or a new 15'' MacBook 2Ghz with 2gb ram for around 1200. Should I spend the extra 400? I don't know that for what I would be using it for the new features on the MacBook are worth 400 bucks? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
