[QUOTE="lil, post: 159279"] I'd have a look into the PowerMac G4s that are around, some of them are dual processor, some aren't; but the upper end machines are powerful plus you get the benefit of thwm being expandable with better internal drives, PCI etc. eBay would give you some price indication. I know the T23 well; it's a good solid laptop. Here's a good example of a PowerMac G4: [url]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/APPLE-POWERMAC-G4-1-25GHz-DUAL-1-5GB-RAM-DUAL-BOOT-MAC_W0QQitemZ8712131768QQcategoryZ4607QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Sure it's a bit pricier than some go for, but bear in mind that will really hold its own compared to an iBook, since it's dual processor, superior graphics etc. The question you need to ask is do you want portability or lots of power? Either way you will be able to do all the computing you need to on a Macintosh. The only area where there is still a weakness (not as bad as it once was) is with the latest and greatest games, thougfh that situation is better than it has been. Vicky [/QUOTE]
