Hello.

I'm going to sell my G3 Powerbook (333Mhz) and buy a more powerful laptop. The problem is that I can't decide if I should buy a 600Mhz G3 iBook or a 550Mhz G4 Titanium. The Powerbook is just slightly more expensive but the iBook comes with a combo drive...

I use Logic Audio Platinum 4.81 and record quite a lot of audio.

I want to get the Titanium because it has got a G4 processor but does that really make up for the cheaper price+CDRW??

Thanks,
Mikael

thanks lepetitmartien,
G5! is coming soon, it's potential will make g4 look kinda stupid.
all soft/hardware developers will be utilizing it's capabilities.
a g3 will be worth peanuts. huh.gif
have you ever bought a car that's impressed you, only to find a few months down the line when you've got to know it's limitations, that you feel it's sluggish, envied the guy whose smoke you're breathing, the guy with the new plates? smile.gif
apple talk about the megahertz myth, don't buy into the numbers game, there's much more to it. if a 700mhz g3 is better than a 550mhz g4, why does the 550mhz g4 cost more? why does g4 even exist? huh.gif
i use a pretty 'maxed out' g4 setup and i'm desperate for something better!
also, when what i want comes along, i know that i'll get very little money for my machine.
sorry to be OTT but every word i say is true, it's only 'cos i care... smile.gif
