Hey guys, I'm seriously debating getting a Mac laptop for college and this will be my first mac. I've about had it with windows. I'm going into nursing so I don't really need a mac for all the video editing hoopla. I just want a reliable computer that will last me through college. I've been browsing around these forums for about an hour or so and I just joined up.
Like I said before, I don't need the mac for video editing, although, Garage Band will be quite nice to have since I love to mess around with songs just to see what sort of f'd up stuff I can create. I've read that ibooks are great for carrying around in backpacks, but the powerbooks are just so great from what I've read of them. My main choices right now are the 14' ibook with the combo drive and the 15' pbook with the combo drive. I'm gonna go to compusa(closet store that sells macs) soon to get a feel for them and to also look at the 12' models of both of them. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys are willing to give.
