I've owned a PB G4. Wireless is fine. Compared to the PC's I've owned, it's about in the middle. Not as good as an iBook or Thinkpad, but better than most HPs/Compaqs/Sonys.Nitro1515 said:
FWIW, if you can spring the extra $500, I'd pick up the Powerbook. However, don't be upset if it doesn't perform like your iMac.Nitro1515 said:
I owned a 12" 1.33GHz PB for about a year and then got a 12" 1.33GHz iBook... the wifi reception is so much better on my iBook.Nitro1515 said:

If your willing to spend $1600 for the powerbook, why not spring $200 more and get a MacBook from the educational store. In my opinion, $1600 is waaaayyy too much to spend on a powerbook at this point in time. Their severely outdated. Like others have suggested, I'd pick up a 12" iBook for 799 off the apple refurb site. Great deal imo.Nitro1515 said:
Yeah it is a lot of money. I think Apple took the newer 12 inch off the refurb site, all that is there for it is the applecare package and an old 1 ghz model. Do you know of any other places that offer deals like that?toneloco2881 said:
Well, Amazon is offering the 12" iBook right now with a $100 rebate. If you take into account that they don't charge sales tax, You'd pay $899 for a brand new machine, that is close to what you pay from Apple's refurb section. Plus, Amazon has a very liberal return policy, should you find that it doesn't suit your particular needs.Nitro1515 said:
There's a reason why that dell costs hundreds less. Mostly due to the fact that really crappy parts make up dells. Two of my roommates own Dell laptops (my third roommate and myself are mac users) and were constantly making fun of our other roommates' dells. There loud (there fans are really noticeable and I often shut down their laptops when I study) and they break pretty often, at the most both laptops only get an hour of battery life, and their screens blow. Not only that there really cheaply made.Nitro1515 said:
