I currently am in the market for a new laptop (just sold old Ti 550) and I get a special deal through work on the following iBook:
iBook G4 1GHz/256MB/60GB/Combo/E/56K/ 14" TFT M9165LL/A
for $1025.
I am comparing that to a refurbed Powerbook 12" with following specs:
PowerBook G4 1.33GHz/256MB/60GB/Combo/AP Extreme Card/E/12"-Aluminum-Refurbished for $1399.
I figure with wireless card the ibook is basically $1100 and Powerbook is $1400. My biggest hangup with the ibook is the "girly" white design but I think it will meet my needs. My question is which of these is a better deal and which will have the best resale value 2 years from now? Thanks for any input.
