- 17" PowerBook G4 1.33GHz
So earlier this week my seven year old powerbook finally kicked the bucket, which left me with only $500 from my savings and a need for a laptop.
My parents insist that I save some money and get some HP POS but I really dont want to go back to a Windows system, especially with all my music and back-ups on a hard drive that is formatted for Mac and all the money I have put into Mac compatible applications.
So my question is what would you do?
I have thought about just buying the Windows computer so I have something to use for the next few months and then selling it to get just a baseline Macbook, but Im worried about not getting as much as I would hope for re-sale value.
Any thoughts or ideas would be welcome!
Thanks!!
