[QUOTE="coloradoracer, post: 1066652, member: 161733"] So I'm looking to switch over to a Mac and ditch my old PC. Here are the two systems I'm looking at: 17" PowerBook g4, 1.67ghz, 1.5gb RAM, 250gb HD 20" iMac g5, 1.86ghz, 2gb RAM, 750gb HD Obviously, the iMac is faster and has more memory and space. I intend to use it for some photoshop and lightroom activity. And then a very little bit of video editing with Final Cut (probably express). It sounds like the PowerBook should handle this fine and so should the iMac. My wife and I do intend to get a 24" or 27" iMac around Christmas time so I'm a little apprehensive of getting the older 20" iMac now since we also need to replace our old laptop. Anyone care to offer up any suggestions as to what they would do? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
