I had been thinking about getting an iMac, but the PB is looking more and more enticing. A PB starts at $1399 with the EDU discount, which would help a lot. I spent like $1700/1800 on my laptop in October 04, so it is pretty new. I think I might sell it (it's in excellent condition and comes with Windows...is $1500 or more too much to expect?) for a new PB when it comes out. I am just wondering if I am getting something less than what I have now; I know I am on a Mac site, etc. etc. but I have some concerns. I love my 15.4" widescreen and it is so clear and vibrant- the Mac notebooks I have seem to have a duller screen. I also have a Windows Mobile PDA (brand new) (though I think they can work together). I am also worried about the specs:
For $1700-1800 on a PC, I got:
-1 GB RAM
-80 GB 5400 rpm HD
-3 Ghz Pentium 4 processor
-15.4" in WXGA Widescreen
-DVD/CD-R drive
-Integrated Wireless LAN
For $1982 onn the PB Mac:
-768 MB RAM
-80 GB 5400 rpm HD
-1.33 Ghz processor
-15" in screen
-Superdrive
-Airport Extreme
Is the 768 MB/1 GB a big difference? This price might change if some PB update comes out soon!
