ive been looking to buy a 1.67 powerbook g4 off craigslist for about 350-400, is it worth it to get it? are the ati radeon 9700 graphics better than the macbooks intel gma x3100?
Edit: I've writed it with the 12'' G4 in the head. totally forgot they came into 15'' and 17'' versions.
One thing is for sure.... Apple wont support it in the coming 2 or 3 months software wise!
Maybe Snow Leopard wise, but Safari and iTunes and stuff should still be fine for awhile.
Not only snow leopard but iLife and iWork and other Apple 'Non Mainstream' software....
Its kinda a habit of Apple to get rid of old stuff..... They have already dropped a ton of support in the '09 software package! Wonder what happens when their whole OS goes 64bit only!
This is actually almost identical to how 68ks were treated. It's unrealistic to expect Apple to support PowerPCs forever, which seems to me some people are actually wishing.
I got a black MacBook Core Duo for $350 a couple of months back
