recent powerbook or imac G5 which is a better buy?

[Old Smuggler]

the most recent 15 powerbooks and imac g5's are similar in price

i allready have a desktop slower than these i am looking at
but dont really care which one of these to get

what are reasonable prices for each macine?
which one is a more problem free machine ?

I would hang in there until you see a Core Duo 2 iMac 20" on the refurb pages.

Even a MacBook 2.0 GHz refurb with enough RAM would be light years faster than your eMac.

Having a portable is really handy and it might get you through the core wars until you're ready for that Octa Core Tower

the old powerpc chips just arent fast enough to warrant paying even the refurb price IMHO
