hullo all,
this is my first post, so hullo its nice to be here!
I have never owned a Mac, the nearest I got to Mac ownership was running mac software on my Amiga using a hardware emulator years ago, I think it was called amaxx, or something like that.
Anyway despite being an owner of Ninaj PCs Ive always had a hankering to own a mac.
Recently I have developed a need for a laptop to do WP and other stuff, so I thought Id finally treat myself to a 2nd hand mac laptop.
My question is I have found 2 machines that Iam tempted by, one is a G4 powerbook with 1.5ghz power pc cpu, 15 inch screen, 1 gig ram, and 80 gig HDD.
The other is a core 2 duo macbook with 320gig HDD, 2 gig ram, 2 gig CPU, and a 13 inch screen.
The powerbook will cost around 100 quid and the macbook around 300.
Is the macbook worth 3 times the price? especially as the screen is 2 inches smaller.
What would YOU buy?
Thanks for your time,
cheerio chaps

.. the aluminium one has got a geforce 9400 which will help a lot in games. The performance difference betwwen the macbook and the powerbook will be great..
