hi all,
well, its that time of year again.
i plan to upgrade my system to an apple notebook, but im having trouble deciding which one, now that the new ibooks have such good specs!!!
im thinking of going for the 12" powerbook superdrive, base model + KB/M, or the 12" ibook with maxtor external onetouch II drive, KB/M, 100GB internal, and 1GB ram. they both come to around the same price in UK£, but i am thinking in terms of the amount of useful user life i will get out of it. (or how long it will last.....)
i tell you, the ibook looks very tempting but it does not have the ability to screen span, but i dont think i will be using that feature much. i also am the kind of guy who does not want to mess around with firmware hacks. (you know what i mean!!
)
the ibook also has a higher ram ceiling, which in the longterm may become more important. correct me if im wrong.
i dont mind for looks, they are both great in my opinion.
i shall be using it for internet, email, picture and music storage, light photoshop, and MS office.
help me decide!!!
thanks
tastic
