Notebook Mac: Same question. What to buy 'til intel... The answer here is less simple, because you can't keep a PowerBook's screen (although a good screen might make a better sale later). But basically, we're waiting for iBook updates soon. And the iBook 12" has had a decent price for a couple of years now. If it "does enough" for you, that's probably the 'Book to buy. PowerBooks quite certainly will get a lot better with the move to intel, when they appear on the market. As we've mentioned before, they'll probably move to a ~2.0 GHz dual core processor with the move to intel in mid to end 2006. And that will be the time to buy PowerBooks in our opinion. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 14:42 [article link]
