[QUOTE="cerberos, post: 60000"] Hello, Folks! I've been debating between a pBook and iBook for well over a month now :) I'm in no hurry as I already have a peecee that is suiting my needs fine for the time being. As of now, I'm leaning toward the Powerbook with the beefier video card and slight speed advantage being the deal makers. My only concern is reports on Powerbook case durability. If I understand correctly, the aluminum is more resistant to scratches than the iBook, but is more prone to dents and dings. Tell me it aint so? How durable are they? My current computer is a IBM Thinkpad X24, and it is durable as heck - I would hate to give it up for something that I would live in fear of damaging. ALSO :) Does OS X have "themes" like Windows XP? For instance, can you switch from the colored "aqua" look to the "graphite" look, etc? [/QUOTE]
