Hey guys,
Okay, so I will be going on a European trip this summer for a month. The reason being is that I need a vacation and I will be studying and reading my book for my AP European History course next year. I am buying the 12" PowerBook G4 just for that trip because I will hopefully be bringing my GL2 (I am going to need a big bag) and a digital camera to manage a website/blog with video and pictures. Now, with the price on the 12" PowerBook going down, I suspect an upgrade. The first generation of these PowerBooks aren't the best, and I have read many stories of everything from warped cases to $610 rubber feet. I guess I have no choice but to buy it. I need a laptop and my old Lombard is practically dead. I will buy this at Stanford (will be taking a FCP course there) for what I believe should be $1399 educational. Say after my trip I want to sell it, how is the price value? The problem is, I want the latest 12" PowerBook, so I want to wait for an upgrade, but time does not allow. Anyways, thanks for reading. Please give any advice especially you Mac users who have sold their computers before or faced my situation.
Take Care,
Phong
