I need to buy a new notebook very soon as my 12" iBook will be passed
on to a new employee.
I'm only interested in small varieties as I lug it around all day.
I think a Powerbook 12" is almost perfect. The only additions I'd
welcome would be a PC Card slot (important) and an illuminated
keyboard like it's bigger brothers (not so important).
However I'm reluctant to spend good money on a G4 processor that is
now 2 generations old, having seen how fast the Intel Macs run (at
least Apple software). I also be pissed off that the battery
performance is not as good as the Intel Powerbook.
If I had any idea how far away the 13.1" iBooks were, I could be
persuaded to wait for these. This would appear my only Intel option
as it seems Apple won't be making a 12" Intel Powerbook and the 15.4"
is too big for me.
Damn Apple for making this change now. They should have swallowed
their pride and done it when they released OSX, instead of lying for
years about speed comparisons.
A PC notebook is not an option, I have several of those but having
been spoiled by the Macs superior umm just about everything I won't
be going back. I remain a PC user on the desktop and the server, just
not on the road.
cheers,
Peter.
