-hh said:If the PB's refresh sucks (as bad as last time), then I might go for a (non-Apple) digital wallet, since they're much better suited for my needs than an iPod photo...but in the meantime, I've discovered a Sony VAIO 10.x" widescreen for under $2K that looks quite appealing...and lighter than the PB (and perhaps in a year, that Sony will be able to dual boot to OS X![]()
hh,
My advice for you would be to go for the 12" iBook, which is a great value and will continue to be a great value after Wednesday. If the 12" is updated along with the other Powerbooks on Wednesday, the update will be significant. I think a switch to the 7448 G4, even at 1.7 GHz, would be great. But for your needs, the iBook might actually be a better value, especially if the 12" update isn't as significant as the 15" and 17" updates (assuming any of them happen).
The chances of a Sony dual booting to OS X in a year are very, very slim.
Good luck either way.
