[QUOTE="totolee, post: 61951"] Looking for your advice on buying Powerbook. I am new to Mac and tired of rebooting my Win Me everyday. My needs: 1. Internet. 2. Photoediting by Photoshop CS. 3. Some DV editing. 4. Word/Excel 5. DVD burn for photos backup and DV. 6. Portability, may bring it on vacation to store photos, I shoot a lot. Concerns: 1. I found 512M very borderline for running PSCS, I am using 1G ram and feel just ok. Upgrading needs an extra HK$2400, do people editing photos do the same? Or they upgrade by themselves? 2. Is 17" that portable? Or should I buy the 15"? 3. Some says the Powerbook is going to upgrade soon, should I wait for that? 4. It seems the high den era is coming, TV, DV, do you think I should consider this or is it just too distant to consider now? Thanks a million. [/QUOTE]
