I would have totally jumped on the 12 inch if i already had a monitor at home...sounds like you are going to have a pretty sweet set up! YES definitely buy the RAM from crucial and install it yourself. a 512 stick is $100 bucks through crucial…

Thanks! I actually ended up going for the 15 inch (1.33 model)... i finally realsized that i value screen size more than i do portability. Here's what i got: 1.33 15" 80gig 5400 rpm HD backlit keyboard 20gig ipod Total cost (edu):…

if apple offered a 13 inch widescreen, this decision would have been a no brainer for me.

Well, I just made my purchase... After two months of 65 hour work weeks I finally saved up the money to buy the 15" powerbook and 20gig ipod (cram and jam)! I can't wait till they get here! Now what are the must-haves???? Thanks for your…

thanks for all the replies...I think this pretty much means that I will be buying a 12 inch...cause I cant afford the 15 inch with the apple care... but, come on...there has got to be some apple care horror stories out there...

I would love a 13 inch fully featured notebook...it would solve all of my problems. I dont think a 10 inch screen would work... Their powerbook line should include: a 12 inch sub-notebook, under 2 lbs. a 13 inch fully featured notebook, ar…

I say go for the most expensive configuration you can afford. Promotion is also a huge factor in resale value. Check out this ebay auction. His auction looked very professional and his pictures were phenominal. The guy sold his rev.a powerbook fo…

Thanks for the advice everyone... There are currently 4 devices that I am considering: 12" powerbook/17" monitor combo; the IBM T41p; Sony Vaio S series (coming in july); and the venerable 15" powerbook. honestly, since I really can't go wrong…

the T41p is an excellent book, and it is the "safe" way to go (it even has a trackpad and built-in keyboard light), but I think I want to move away from the window's platform... I really wish the 12 inch came with a backlit keyboard...this would …

Quote: Originally posted by iDebaser You'll be waiting for awhile, the G5 powerbooks won't be coming out anytime soon. Plus, don't think that your G4 powerbook will be the only one outdated when a 64bit chip is added. Anyway, what do you plan …
-
actually, a t41p is lighter than a 12" pb. The model I am interested in buying would be the 2373-GEU. With a shareholder discount, it would cost 2700 bucks... I've handled both in person, and I must say, the IBM is the ugliest looking computer ev…

thanks for all of your replies! I am still undecided though... I would be using my computer in class to take notes when i go portable...some of my classes will have those tiny little desks that fold out in front of you...the others are going to b…

thanks for the suggestions, but now i am actually leaning towards the 12"/17" monitor combo... i will prolly buy the powerbook by the end of the summer, then the monitor by the holidays (maybe newer ones will be out), and i will know by that time…
-
lol, thanks, but now i am back to square one... I can buy a 12 inch powerbook, 80gig, 5400 rpm HD, with a 17 inch flat panel, bluetooth keyboard and apple care for 2500 bucks... (edu discount) for 30 bucks more, i can get a 15 inch powerbook w…
-
thanks for your suggestions...it looks like i'll be getting the 15 incher... So can anyone speculate on what the tech specs are going to be for the next generation of powerbooks??? I plan on getting my powerbook in august (thats when i'll have th…

I've actually seen these in person...they looked pretty cool! But I dont think I can stand to type on them regularly...
