I am looking at Amazon and after all rebates, here are the prices of the models I am most interested in:
1)Apple iBook Notebook 14.1" - $1174.99 + Free Canon printer + Free Mighty Mouse
2) Apple PowerBook Notebook 12.1" -$1199.99 + Free Canon printer + $50 off iPod Shuffle (not going to take iPod shuffle offer)
The thing I like about the iBook is the bigger screen, longer battery life, and better airport recepetion. As to the Powerbook; faster processor, bigger & faster hard drive, better graphics card.
At first, I thought I made the decision, but since it is a $20 difference I can't decide. So..those who have the powerbook, what do you have to say? What about those with the iBoook? What scares me out of the powerbook is that it heats up so much within the first minutes that I can't use the keyboard or put it on my lap..is it as bad as they say? How bad of an airport reception do these get? I saw that they have two antennas..does the ibook have it too?
[Edit] What about sweat marks that take off the color of the powerbook?
