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!! |

A Powerbook or a Mac Mini, depending on whether or you have a working monitor, and need it to be portable.
I've not owned a Mac since I had a 512K Mac 20 years ago (egads, I can't believe it was that long ago), but the next machine I buy will probably be one my second Mac (and I've owned dozens of boxes since). IMHO, no need for a Windows box unless you absolutely NEED to run some bit of software. If what you need is the usual "office" stuff and a browser, a Mac will give you all of those, and it's a better package right now. All of the Unix weenies like me are also now buying Macs, since that's what it basically is underneath. |
