Hmmm. . .
Haven't looked at what's been happening in computers for 5 years, and well, wife dropped the old PIII laptop recently, and I need to replace it with something. After looking at things online 'til my eyes bugged out, I've narrowed it down to some options to consider. Primary use would be internet/music/wordprocessing/powerpoint/digital audio editing . . . secondary use would be gaming. I'm researching student pricing on the iBook, a fellow lister has made the Powerbook available, and the gamer in me would like to get the Athlon 64 machine. opinion away!! |

I'd pay a little extra and get something with a Warranty & Support. I like Macs - I think they are better designed (on the whole), but that comes down to your preference.
You can get the education discount from Apple by going to a special area on their website. I would go for any of the current line of Powerbooks - but I might wait until Tiger comes out (should be April 15th, but that's a rumour). Fiid. |
