Okey dokey -- I have what amounts to a almost new 400mhz Tibook. Why almost new?
Because I have a 7 month old brand new logic board.
7 month old new keyboard.
7 month old new top case.
2 week old new middle case.
7 month old bottom case.
6 month old Hitcachi travelstar 40 gig hd, 5400rpm,
a 1 month old new Airport card,
2 six month old Kingston 512K ram chips --
plus i keep the top case and middle case in their original plastic protector wrap, plus i have an iskin keyboard protector -- so the case is untouched --
so the only thing "old" about my old Tibook is the battery, the LCD and the DVD CD rom drive which are all great.
My question to you today is -- I love the tibook -- should I bother buying a later model or upgrading the CPU when ALL I do is surf the web, use Word and email?
I don't game.
I rarely even watch movies and I don't have an iPod yet. (It came with a Smartdisk Titanium cd burner external because it doesn't burn)
Should I buy a Daystar 550mhz CPU upgrade?
Should I go to a 7200 rpm HD?
Because I have a feeling that since my useage is so basic, that even if I were to go to a 1ghz Tibook, IT STILL WOULD BE around the same speed for the way that I use the machine!
Am I right to just hang on to my pretty new old Tibook as is -- or is there any real time speed bump that I would enjoy with either a CPU/HD upgrade or a maxed out 1ghz Tibook?
Thanks guys -- I really thought about it and don't know the answer.
