Hi everyone, I have been reading all around the forums on the new MBP's. Up until now I was almost 100% on purchasing a new MBP. But now that I keep reading, I think it might be a better idea to buy a powerbook while I still can, and wait up to a year then upgrade to the MBP when things are a bit more worked out. I am wondering if there are any stores that would still sell new 15" powerbooks. I don't really want to take the risk of ebay and I don't want a 12" or 17" powerbook. So if anyone can let me know where I could buy a new 15" or if i'm stuck without it let me know. Thanks for all your help.

I'm sure you could do a search on Google and fine some Apple Re-sellers that would probably have a few 15" PowerBooks.

Thanks for the replies, I am going to check out some of those sites now. Yah I am fairly skeptical of ebay myself, but I am sitll considering it. Well I was going to get a MBP, but first off. I am completely new to Apple, and I feel that there may be problems with my MBP when I get it and I may not even realize there are any because I don't completely understand Macs yet. I mainly need the Mac for editing and using programs such as Final Cut Pro and Maya. I think my best option right now is to get a powerbook and learn the basics of Macs and understand a little bit before I get venturing into the intel world of perhaps some bugs. My plan is to get a powerbook for now, and in a year or however long until the Intel versions of Powermacs come out, then I will get one of those. :biohazard I love Macs so much, just by things I hear and things I have seen on my friends Powerbook. If you guys think I might be wrong in any of this let me know. I just think going with this route is a good idea for 1, the intels are still new, and 2, I am brand new to the Apple life. Thanks guys!

I have both a MBP and a PowerBook G4 sitting on the bench next to me, I can honestly say the PB has not been opened since the MBP was bought. There is no way I would swap back or take a PB instead of the MBP.
Personally if you have the cash I think buying a PB4 now over a MBP is a mistake. |
