[QUOTE="technologist, post: 55861, member: 4134"] I would think that the 3D visualization work would benefit significantly from the faster graphics and additional VRAM in a PowerBook. The faster bus will add a little, too. Also, if you plan on giving presentations, note that the PowerBook can drive a seperate monitor, while the iBook can only mirror the internal display.* *[SIZE=1]There is a hack for the iBook, but it may cause the video card to run hot, and is not supported or covered under your warranty.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
