Buying advice needed - help me!!!!
Hi I'm so glad I've found this board yesterday! Fantastic wealth of knowledge!
I currently use a Graphite iMac for hobby and work. I tryto update my website every now and then, use iTunes and AppleWorks quite a lot. I have a digicam and use iPhoto and occasionally Vectorworks.
For what I do my iMac is perfectly capable.
Due to certain circumstances I have to sell this one one to my parents and I need to buy a new mac now. I'm on a budget so now I wonder:
-eMac with Superdrive + Bluetooth cause it's G4 but desktop?
-iBook 14" with extra ram because sometimes mobility would be VERY useful to me (have to travel a week each month so at the moment I'm without a computer during that week); I thought about adding a Pro keyboard & Mouse to facilitate typing whilst I'm at home.
I could buy a flatscreen later when I've earned more money.
-PBook 12" because it's quite up to date and finances don't really stretch this far; I need to postpone buying a flatscreen for some time so meanwhile I'll be forced to work with the 12" screen.
Any help appreciated!

g
the emac is fast and cheap but too heavy
a simple imac is a better deal than a top emac
the 12" disadvantage is its smaller screen
BUT its better better better
just add airport extreme and ram and thats it
go for the 12" powerbook
