14" G4 iBook speed difference worth the $$$$$?

I don't think you're going to notice the difference- put the $ into ram and an airport extreme.

Opinion...

I second that. Use the $155 to get a 512 RAM chip. Much more useful than the tiny increase in processor speed.

Yep RAM it is.
Bluetooth or AIrport Ex depending on your needs

Go with the 933... it has plenty of speed.

The 933 is the sweet spot. The 1 GHz is just an option for those who want a 12" PB with a bigger screen...

GET MACWORLD MAGAZINE march 2004 and read page 26.

all the
iBooks G4 VS
PB G4 1Ghz and
iBook G3 900Mhz

With no S-Drive, all C-Drive

If you are a student using Discount and Cost matters

-And for 12", the iBook G4 is the one
-And for 14", the 933Mhz is the one
-And for 1Ghz, the 12" PB is the one

-12" iBook G4 is the fastest and cheapest
-14" 933Mhz is as fast as the 1Ghz by 2 secs slow only and it's cheaper
-for the cost of a 14' 1Ghz, the 12" PB is few pennies more and you get faster speed for Pro Prog by 50% faster and you also get input and Aluminium that is scratch resistant.

NOTE:
on the same mag, on page 27,
they said it also, 14" 1Ghz not worth the extra over the 933Ghz.

12" G4 800 4/5
14" G4 933 3.5/5
14" G4 1Ghz 3/5

he said he's already getting both AE and BT, so that's not a problem...

while 1 ghz certainly has a nice sound to it, it's not really worth it. As others have said, that money will max out the RAM, which is what will really make a performance difference. I think you'll love your new ibook.

is this case, Happy 30 =)

We want you to treat yourself nicely with a new mac and as you know you can ask questions and your MAC brothers will help you out.

Get the book do dual with the hack or mirror it on a sweet display to safe you sight

MacWorld just did a test of all three iBooks, as well as compared them to the past generation...some interesting results. don't know if it is on line, but in the current issue for sure. check it out.
