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!! |

Thanks for the input. . .
I'm heavily leaning towards the mac laptop side because a generous 914club member has offered to help me out with the powerbook. Computers and I generally get along well, and they typically live unproblematic lives with me, so i'm not as terribly concerned about the tech support side. I'm easy either way with mac or PC, but my wife really likes PC's. . . so, I think my plan will be to get the powerbook, and then get a desktop PC later as the need arises. The only game I play is Urban Terror. . . a Quake III mod since counterstrike never ported to Mac. This machine will run that adequately. . . not admirably, but adequately (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I've never had a fast gaming system so I wouldn't know the difference. -'Chung |
