I'm currently running an iBook G4 1.2 GHz with 1.25GB of RAM, and 30GB internal/50GB external HD space. I'm contemplating an upgrade to a PowerBook. I could probably still get $700 or so easy out of my iBook, which would mean the upgrade would cost about $800 or so after my student discount. I'm running Logic Pro 7 and Reason 3. I record primarly electronic beats with some basic live guitars and vocals, nothing too fancy.
My question is: would it be worth the $800 to upgrade for the recording I'm doing? I don't know much about Mac hardware yet, as I just converted but I'm not having any real trouble with crashes on the iBook, I just don't really know what I may or may not be missing. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks. -dj43 |

Mmm… techno lust. Seriously, don't worry about the PowerBooks. I'd love one myself, but a G4 iBook isn't that far off them in terms of all-round performance and flexibility. As woodworm points out, if you really want a performance boost, you've got to go to a G5, whether that's an iMac or, the ultimate great leap forward, a PowerMac. If you "upgraded" to a PowerBook, you might be disappointed. And $800 poorer.
