[QUOTE="ghettochild, post: 146891, member: 12644"] here's the deal. I was originally considering this (all prices w/ edu disc.): [U]15" G4 PB 1.67GHz[/U] 1GB RAM (2 slots) 100GB HDD 128 vRAM SD APP -> [B]$2.653 [/B] now I'm considering this: [U]17" iMac G5 2GHz[/U] 1GB RAM (2 slots) 160 GB HDD 128 MB vRAM SD APP -> $1.630 + [U]12" G4 iBook 1.33GHz[/U] 512MB RAM 40GB HDD 32MB vRAM Combo APP -> $1.132 _________ [B]$2.762[/B] Price differenc: [B]$109[/B] all right... I don't need to be mobile all the time, i.e., I don't need to drag my LT to campus every day, just every so often. Hence, I'd use the PB as a desktop replacement rather than as a laptop. however, every so often I need to use a LT on campus and for travel. I've been a winblows user for 13 years, I have zero practical experience w/ macs (except for messin with them @ the apple store or compusa. putting the $100 price differnce aside (I can make up for that w/ selling the 2nd iPod), which one(s) would u go for? any input/help is greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!
