- PB 12inch 1.33ghz 1.25gb/60gb pb 15inch 1.25ghz 1.25gb/160gb Power Mac G3 B&W Overclocked 500mhz
Hello all! Great forum, I've been lurking it ever since I switched a year and a half ago! I am just too timid to post!
Here's my question (I hope this is the appropriate place to post it in... I debated between this one, anything goes or Buy/Sell/Trade...feel free to move me if need be).
I have two powerbooks (I'll list the specs below). The 12inch is my first Apple ever and I love it to death! The 15inch I ended up getting for free because it was sitting in the werehouse of the company I work for and well, the boss said take it!
That being said I love having 2 pbooks, but managing two machines can be such a hassle! (Which docs are where, etc etc) Plus I really should simplify my life and fight the "collector mentality."
Anyways, I was thinking of selling the units and using the money for a MBP. I am not a big fan of the keyboards on the MacBooks so I don't think I'd go for anything other than the Pro. I prefer the 15inch powerbook, I think it's very portable and I like the screen brightness/size... so do i really need the 12inch? But I keep the 12inch because it's still under apple care! I have no desktop system. I'd like to get an iMac soon as well.
Another question... I am not sure of how much I should expect to get for the systems...
1.) 12inch pb 1.33ghz 60gb 1.25mb RAM Super Drive Bluetooth, Airport etc.
For this machine I have the original box and everything that came with it. Still has applecare until Dec 07. Also, I have a great Booq Boa XS that I would let go with it.
2.) 15inch pb 1.25ghz 80gb 512mb RAM Super Drive Bluetooth, Airport etc. I have the box, but NO recovery media or powercord (blast!). And no applecare.
I have not had any issues with either machine and both are in perfect physical shape!
So, what would you do? I know it's my decision in the end, but I am asking if you were in my position...
I am pretty much a basic user. I have no REAL need for photoshop or any PPC software.
I'd be looking at a maxed out 15inch MBP (I'll do the memory myself).
Also, is it likely there will be a revision to the MBPs in Sept? Soon?
So? What would you do?
Thanks in advance!
