[QUOTE="PowerBookG4, post: 208271, member: 8394"] depends on how much money you have, the macbook pro is definitely the best option, the powerbook will be a second but not a close second, although it is not new which is a plus, as all new technology fails. The power of the macbook pro will be very beneficial to you, that, and since you have never had a mac before if you decide you don't like it, although you will, you can always install bootcamp on the macbook and then you will be able to run windows, so you won't be at a complete loss. The powerbook only comes in a 12 inch screen size now, although i like it to be small, sometimes it can be a strain to work on that for a long time. I am a large advocate for the 15 inch size. Then there is the case that you can't try to persuade your parents to help you out a little on the price, or you need it now and can't save up. In that case the ibook will be fine for you, but it is not my personal favorite computer (although many people love it). I have used them, but the 4:3 aspect ratio of the screen is not appealing to me (same with the 12 inch powerbook). This is just my little rant on switchers getting laptops and what i think they should do, not only helping you, but helping other people who might have the same question, but in the end.... its your call.. the best piece of advice I can give you is to go to the store and play with each model and screen size and decide which one you like the best.
