Hey everyone,
Firstly I'd like to thank you all for helping me out whenever I have had any mac related questions! After reading this forum I have been convinced to make the switch, I was looking at getting a Powerbook 12" Combo drive. I just have a few questions before I make the swtich, I am sure some if not all of them have been asked before but if you could help me out that would be really great. Thanks! Anyway here goes:
1. I am planning to use the Powerbook for the basics (Net, Music, Photos, Word processing) so would it be sufficient enough?
2. I would like to get into DJ mixing .etc in the future, so would would the powerbook be powerful enough to hand that?
3. Is it worth sticking with iLife or getting Office 2004?
4. I live in Melbourne, Australia and we don't have any official Apple Stores here at the moment. We only have resellers. Would it be better to purchase from a reseller or the Apple Australia store online?
5. How long would delievery take from Apple Australia online?
6. How does the warranty work from purchasing from the Online store? What happens if I have a problem with the laptop, what do I do? And how long are warrantys on powerbooks valid for without buying any additional applecare?
7. Should I hold out for the Pentium Apples? Are they going to be much more superior? And will Apple continue to support the PowerPC based macs?
Thanks!
