Hi. I'm in the market for a 12 inch powerbook for school next year. The apple store is selling a 1.33 powerbook for $1,099 (256 ram) while theyre selling the refurbished 1.5 powerbook for $1,299. I am using this notebook for garageband intensive tasks and I hear that the 1.33 powerbooks with 60 gig harddrives (like the ones being sold refurbished by apple) come with a 4,200 hard drive while the 1.5 comes with a 5,200. Would this affect me a lot during garageband intensive tasks? Which is the better deal? Here are the stats:
PowerBook G4 1.33GHz/ 256MB/ 60GB/ Combo/ AP Extreme Card/ E/ 12-inch/ Aluminum - Apple Certified Refurbished
or
PowerBook 12-inch 1.5GHz Combo Drive - Apple Certified Refurbished
512MB DDR333 SDRAM
60GB Hard Drive
NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 (64MB DDR)
AirPort Extreme
Bluetooth 2.0 + Enhanced Data Rates
I wouldn't mind the .2 slow down in speed but I wouldn't want anything saying garageband can't perform a task because of the hard drive. Thanks.
