I would go with the PPC PowerBook. I had a 1.83GHZ Core 2 Duo macbook and sold it for a PB 1.67GHZ High-Rez. You can get soo much more out of the powerbook:
PowerBook 1.67GHZ DL Superdrive FW 400, 800 DVI out S-Video out Bigger Screen Most of these things, the new macbook won't have. Granted the macbook will be faster, it just won't have as much features as the powerbook. -Jonas On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 9:29 PM, Will S <willsc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > >> > Agreed, get the macbook you'll notice a world of difference in terms of >> > value and speed.
