I tend to go a bit overboard when it comes to gadgets anyway. Actually, the Macbook would do me fine for my portable needs. I usually pump up the RAM though. I do most of my major work on my desktop, which for now is a G4. If I put any major money into something it will be when I replace that.
I will definitely wait before buying anything until after Macworld 2008. > From: Jerry Freeman <x12 at insightbb.com> > Reply-To: Macintosh topics <macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> > Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:20:40 -0500 > To: Macintosh topics <macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> > Subject: Re: [MacGroup] G3 ibook > > you would get approximately (1) full hour of real world battery use > from the macbook pro (3hrs) led vs the current mackbook (2hrs). is > that worth the additional $700-900? you could project a one hour > improvement for a led equipped macbbok. > > the mackbook is not as hot on the bottom (bearable) if you your use is > actually as a laptop, why apple calls them portables rather than > laptops :) > > i suspect apple to slide the LED screen macbook into inventory without > much fanfare on or before mwsf. best...jf
