Hi guys,
I'm a total Mac newbie, so please forgive me. I've been looking at getting a notebook for myself for a couple months now, and while I'd love to get a rip-roaring gaming notebook, it just isn't in the budget. So now I find myself comparing Centrino-based notebooks with the Mac iBooks and Powerbooks.
My needs can be summarized as light gaming (Warcraft 3, Call of Duty..I know Half-Life-2 is beyond any machine I can afford), internet surfing, office applications, occasional movie and some travel. I've been looking closely at the 12" Powerbook which should fit all of this nicely.
My question for you fine folks, is that on a bang-for-the-buck basis (i.e. performance per dollar), do you think the Powerbooks are good value for the money compared to Centrino notebooks?
Any input is appreciated!
