Hey everyone, my name is Jon and I'm new to this forum so this is my first post! I have a question for those of you might have been in my position.
Here it is: I'm currently using a Powerbook G4 15" and I'm thinking about ditching it for a black Macbook (max RAM, 160 GB HD).
My concerns:
Smaller screen; would the difference in size be something I can get used to?
PB resell value; closed eBay auctions show that I probably won't get much over $1200, even for a mint condition PB. How much more do you think Office 2003 (Student Ed.) and Adobe CS2 (not just Photoshop) will bump it up?
Is there a noticable difference in speed?
Originally I wanted to go for the 15" MBP, but really I can't justify the ~$800 price difference (in the config I would have gotten) in something that won't be my primary machine. The Man (my university) is making us all use tablet PCs.
What do you guys think? Thanks for any input.
