ok... so that's a misleading title...whaddya all think about the new PowerBook G4s... they are SOOO cool aren't they? .ME thinks that if they added a popup stand built into the big one, they'd make moneys selling them as desks and podiums Official 68k videographer Edited by - cory5412 on 10 Jan 2003 06:39:59 |

The downside of the 12" PowerBook is that it's only got a 640MB RAM cap, no backlit keyboard like the 17" and I don;t think it has a PCMCIA slot, either. However, it's still a pretty cool liitle machine. As for the 17"...? Wow...I'd love it, but even my 15" TiBook is pretty bulky to carry around. I went through hell trying to use it on the plane...666th poster and 666th thread-creator

Get the frigging AlBook, you can use the Chris Moeller painting as a desktop wallpaper. You'll get a lot better use out of the AlBook than a painting for sure. then again, paintings sometimes appreciate in value if limited edition......
I still vote for the TiBook.

Well, it took me about 3 minutes to decide that I will be stepping up from my iBook 600Mhz to a 12" PowerBook...Aluminum casing, built-in BlueTooth, AirPort Extreme, SuperDrive, 866 MHz 7455... All in the much-loved case of my trusty iBook! Ah, bliss! Lucky for the missus, too. She'll get the iBook to play with. ,xtG

Oh that painting is the ultimate in limited editions. It's the the painting itself. Alas, I put down what I thought was a complete joke bid on a PowerBook 3400 and I'm now $200 shy of what I need. Durn'd eBay! Eitherway, I now have a new toy to play with. 68K's liberated: 4
