G5 or New Powerbook - Which way to go
With the new Powerbooks out I am having a difficult time deciding if I should go for the PB 17inch or G5 2GHz Dualie.
Given the price is the same, it is only harder.
I would not need the PB for traveling, though the ability to be in the house anywhere to do work or play is nice.
On the other hand the G5 is the new and ongoing platform for Apple and once software is compiled for the G5 things will only get better.
Any Advice? Thank-you in advance

The PB is an all in one solution. The G5 is a workstation with over three times the power.
The G5 is expandable and can take a monster amount of memory. The PB is sleek and unobtrusive.
Either will run Word just fine.

Agreed either will run Word great! But I would like to use it with Final Cut Express and Photoshop.
I already have a 20" (CRT) monitor, I can hold off on the Cinema Display.
Power Mac or PowerBook.
Not exactly the hardware you are mentioning, but a good Power Mac vs. PowerBook discussion. I think keeping it to one thread is bettter.
