I'm (linux user) very seriously thinking at buying a Powerbook and this must surely be the place to ask for advice .
I was on a business trip to London last week, and two of my colleagues had little 12" powerbooks. One sysadmin has one and loves it, and the other pointed to it and said "that's the best machine for connectivity I've seen".
I really hated carrying my old heavy old 650mhz brick around and whilst wifi worked everywhere else under suse linux, it didn't work in my office (new standards/drivers). grr..
Snag is, there are new intel macbooks coming out now, so is buying a powerbook now a bad idea? Am I likely to buy one and then two months later see a new super mac that is loads quicker? Is the powerbook a nice responsive machine as it is?
I want the small one 12", and won't be doing anything too intensive on it i.e. web dev / office / internet etc. It won't be my main machine, but since travel a lot, I need a something portable. Can you advise please?
Many thanks
