Hi everyone, i currently own a 1ghz iBook G4. I have been keen to move onto an intel machine for a while now and think now's as good a time as any. I had previously decided to get a 17" iMac and keep the iBook for portable use. But now with the release of the Macbook, i could sell the iBook and replace it with one, saving me a lot of money compared to buying the iMac.
But i'm still unsure which way to go, the two machine set up would deffinately be better, as it would mean the load was shared (my iBook's pretty much being run into the ground at the minute). But wouldn't a 2ghz duo Macbook with maxed out ram be enough to handle pretty much anything? I'm a little weary of the onboard graphics, as even my iBook has a dedicated card, but again, wouldn't the power of the Macbook stop that from being an issue?
I could manage with the 13" monitor, as my current set up includes a 17" tft used with screen spanning doctor, (although i was keen on the idea of spanning the iMac across 2 x 17" monitors)
So what do you guys think? would it still be worth going for the iMac?
Thanks in advance, Scott
