Alright, I'm new to the forum and have contemplated switching over to the MAC platform for some time. I've used various Windows platforms since it's inception, but I'm really getting tired of all the lockups, updates, pop-ups and overall Microsoft clutter! I've been reading around in here for a few weeks now, as well as other resources on the web. I'm looking at the new MacBook Pro laptop, but was wondering what users had to say about it in comparison to the PowerBook G4? Most of my use will consist of digital photography, video editing, iTunes usage, and Internet/E-mail. I'd also like to get into Podcasting...
All in all, from the hardcore MAC users...would I be better purchasing a slightly used PowerBook with the PowerPC processor, or go right to the Intel Duo based MacBook Pro?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
