hey
i'm trying to decide (STILL!) between getting a powerbook or an ibook. i have to take a loan out for either so 'getting the best i can afford' is a relative idea... what's the max RAM and hard drive size for the ibook and the powerbook? anyone?  thanks |

It is highly mexpected that on Monday, April 19th, new Powerbook and iBook models will be announced. All these have a clock frequency of 1GHz or above. Also, RAm can be in excess of 1 GBytes. The Powerbook has better graphics (which for a DAW doesn't matter much) and a cooler looking design. The higher price of the Powerbook does not give you a huge performance boost.
So if you want your best bang for the buck, in my opinion get a powerbook with the minimum RAM and the biggest hard drive (currently 60GBytes), and upgrade it with non-Apple memory to 0.75 or 1.25 GBytes. This way, you have a powerful DAW right from the beginng. BTW, I am using a 5 year old B/W Powermac upgraded to G4/500 MHz (!) with 0.75 GBytes of RAM and a 12 GBytes disk, and Logic 6. So if your sequencer/DAW software allows you to freeze tracks, you can have a large number of tracks even without top performance HW. Have fun!
