Hey ppl.
I'm new to this forum and to mac community. This is my first post
I'm planning to buy i-book G4 and i have a few question before i do so.
I currently got Pc desktop - Pentium 4 1.7 256rdram and a Geforce 3 64mb. Few days ago I also sold my Pc laptop ( i mostly work with the laptop ) which was slighltly better than the desktop - Pentium 4 1.8ghz 768ddr Sis650 built in gfx ( i know it sucked both were with WinXp sp 1 and the laptop also was dual boot ( Slackware Linux )
I wonder how would i feel with the i-book performance ? How should it feel ? like my desktop ? or more like the laptop i used to have. because for what i do my desktop is not enough because of crippled memory ( 256 ) but the laptop worked great in xp - no lags, simply smooth. will it be the same with i-book 640ram and OSX ?
another question is about heat in i-books. I live in a very hot country and temp in C is going from 35 and upto 45 at summer with lots of humidity - how will i-book perform in such conditions ? will it perform at all ? anyone got any expirience in such conditions with i-book ?
I'm going to buy 12' 640ram G4
going to work mostly in Photoshop and networking stuff for which i will install linux.
another questions if you dont mind
I got 5.1 sound system and i wanna sometimes plug it to headphones jack in the i-book, i know i wont get 5.1 but will the sound be ok ?
does i-book includes built in mic ? very important because it lacks audio line in.
I also wanna plug my 19' Mag 810FD trinitron to the i-book so i would be able to use better resolutions - is it possible ? i know there is a hack and i'm willing to use ( never had any problems with hacks but will it work at all - the monitor is a PC monitor with regular VGA connector.
sorry for my english - i'm not native speaker
and thanks
