Hey ya guys...I'm in a bit of a confusion here.
I very well know the pros and cons of each system, of course, the powerbook being a much better and faster machine.
But I find it very hard to decide for either one. I have the money for either one but it's hard choosing.
Also, how about between the 12" or the 15"? The 14" iBook is out of the question, since the screen doesn't look as nice, so I'd consider a 12" iBook and 12" PB and 15" PB. How well does the 12" hold screen-size-wise? I'm afraid it might be "too small" in the real world. It looks small as it is at the Apple Store...
I really like the backlit keyboard on the 15" PB and the resolution, it's SO sweet!
Is the price worth it? I mean, a 12" iBook for $999.99 or $500 more for a similar 12" PB or $1000 more for a beast 15" PB.
Last thing...should I wait 'till Apple releases their newer model of either the iBook or PowerBook to make a decision?
Also, I also have a fairly new (5 month old) 20" iMac at home, so the laptop won't be my main machine.
I'm a college student too....so? Any ideas or suggestions...Thanks.
I'm all confused
PS: Sorry for the lenghty post
