[QUOTE="Cloudane, post: 52689"] Suppose it depends if you have any kind of desire for those extras. I went with the PB for: * The solid aluminium casing * The ability to plug a monitor in and run it in dual-display mode at any resolution (with an iBook you're stuck with mirroring the LCD at 1024x768 or less) which has already paid off a few times * Ability to run it with the lid/screen closed (same situation) * Apparently somewhat faster logic board etc and graphics capable of running some games (not important, but nice to be in Second Life whilst sat outside etc) For me it was worth it. But if you don't have any desire for the sharper performance edge, dual-display etc the iBook might even be better due to the different software bundle (you get AppleWorks I believe, whilst PB users get iLife instead. I might be wrong or incomplete on this.) [/QUOTE]
