What are you replacing when you get a revised MBP?

Old G4 Quicksilver, still going strong but looking forward to the freedom of a MBP. (Still keeping the G4).
 
A two year old PowerBook 1.67 which has so many faults I can't be bothered to list them!

I also really want iLife '08.

Replacing my 4 year old Fujitsu Siemens ScaleoP

Originally, 3ghz P4, 512 ram, 128mb radeon gfx, 160gb hdd. ICK!

Currently, same processor, but had extra 512 ram added 2 years ago, on its second motherboard after last one died, 3rd graphics card, current 256mb radeon 9250 (lol) after other 2 burnt out.

Currently it won't recognise half my USB devices, randomly disables WirelessZeroConfig and the monitor (4 year old 17" LG tft) constantly flashes a lovely shade of pink, prob screwed VGA cable or GFX card again, meh.

I'm coming to the mac side!!! 😀:apple:
 
Hmmm... I was using an LG LW60, but that died several months ago. Was going to buy a MBP then, but decided to wait.

I am currently using an old Acer (dont know what model) - 1.33GHz Celeron, 248MB, 20GB... and literally falling apart.

Cant wait to upgrade.
 
A torn apart Asus Z93E. The screen is cracked and its gone through a power connector replacement, new hard drive and power supply. Blah.. 🙁
 
I'm currently on a G4 Powerbook..... It's so slow by standards today! However i did sell my Macpro 3 weeks ago and it's killing me having to go back to this stone age PB!

I think you have me beat. I hope to repalce a Compaq Evo 600c. I think it is a 1ghz with 256mb ram. 20GB HD running windows 2000. But it is only 6 years old.
 
I'm replacing a Macbook 1.1 black, 2Ghz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 100GB HDD etc.

My girlfriend is buying it, so it wont go far. 😀
 
I'm replacing my homebuilt 4-and-a-half year old machine: P4@2.4GHz, 512MB RAM, radeon 9600 pro osv. Right now there's a constant noise in the loudspeakers, and the RAM is slow as hell. I hope next tuesday will be a happy one!

Getting a MBP to replace my Dell XPS M1210 from July 2006. The Dell will go to my brother for general use (desktop died a few months ago), playing Warcraft and WOW, etc. The GeForce Go 7400 card in it will do nicely.

iBook G4 1.2 12'' with 120GB and 1.25GB of RAM.
Anyway, after replacing the HD is working like the first day, so I will keep it and use it as my personal "macbook air" 🙂
