Hi guys
I do run on my Mac all day all year. I use it to work (design, web, photo) and for personal use to. It's a laptop so it is easy to combine both. I use it 85% work, 15% personal at home. I just pop into my head lately that I should get a second one just in case it dies one day....
I would also appreciate having 2 computers at home/office.
I presently run : PowerBook G4 1.5 ghz (2000$) + Dell 22" widescreen (350$) + 400gig exernal drive (250$)
I am looking to a solution to either
option 1 : Get a new mac (1800-3000$), keep the old one close.
option 2 : Get a PC (500$), keep the old one close, but will still need to be changed one day or another. (I like less the option #2 tough, but it is way cheaper)
...and as option 1, this is where i get confused... I can't decide if I would got for a macbook 13" - macbook15", or a imac 20" - imac 24" (and sell my widescreen), or go big with a huge macpro ??
I kind of appreciate the combo of having a laptop and close it to plug a big screen, it helps sometimes... but maybe the imac is the best bang for the buck ?
My Powerbook is bean running super great since the begining and it is gonna be 3 years soon so in one way I say why go for the huge macpro then. They we got the other ones to choose from, and why ?
Thanks for commenting !
