Hi All. It's been awhile since I've posted here. Well now I'm back!
Anyway, I currently have a 20" iMac G5 (1st Gen) and a 12" PowerBook G4 1.5 GHZ. I'm looking to sell both units in favor of a new MacBook Pro (Higher End 15") and a 23" Cinema Display. My dad is going to put forth about $2,000 for the MBP, and I'll use the money made from the sale of the other machines for the upgrades and Cinema.
Any idea what will be the next big upgrade for the MacBook Pros? I have a year until college as of yet so I have plenty of time, and these machines are still working great! Is it feasible to put the Core 2 Duos in a laptop? Someone told me that the power consumption of those chips is too high.
What are my options here? What is the next year of chips looking like?
It's great to be back!
