Ok i'm going to have to explain my terribly unjust post which dumped on the powerbook i see...
Ok here goes, i'll try to put my words a bit more careful this time: I'm not saying that the powerbook isn't a lot more powerful machine than the ibook, it obviously is (l2 chache size, bus speed, harddrive size, etc etc) And since most people agree that you need an external harddrive i don't think that should really factor, and if you need an external harddrive you might as well get an external dvd burner (that supports more formats than the superdrive and is faster? Ok that was a cheap shot, i take it back...  )I'm saying that a machine bought now will be obsolete within max. 3-4 years no matter which type you buy. I think that's not unreasonable right? At least for cutting edge users... So looking at the differnece in price and performance i'm just saying that the powerbook will last longer than the ibook but not much. a few years ago we'd be agrueing about 300&500 Mhz Computers saying that 300 is slow and 500 will "just fly" and what-not. I just want to put things into perspective. Get a powerbook if you can afford it, if not be glad you saved the cash (that you couldn't afford anyway;)) and just update your machine a few months earlier than the powerbook you could've had... Oh no, i think this'll just piss people off more... Another example: I've just switched from a Pentium 3 -866 Mhz Desktop PC, my friend bought his 1Ghz Mhz machine around the same time and paid a whole lot more for it... Chickenshit, they both pale in comparison with current models and his gain in performance has perhaps cost me 10 minutes of my life but earned me approximately 300€ AS LONG AS IT'S A NEW APPLE LAPTOP I'M SURE IT'LL BE FINE!
