[QUOTE="xj6jaguar1985, post: 767492, member: 60410"] It really depends on what you use your computer for. All of my needs are fulfilled and then some on a 1.67GHz Aluminum powerbook. They tend to be in the $400-$500 price range. I think they're worth it as they're absolutely gorgeous. 1st generation MacBooks sell for about $500 on eBay. Newer MacBooks are about $7-$800 on eBay. MacBook Airs are garbage, stay away from them. If you're an average Joe computer user, you can get a 1GHz Titanium powerbook off of eBay for about $300 and have a pretty fast computer with a nice big 15" screen. The difference between the powerbook and MacBook is the processor. Powerbooks use "Power PC" processors which are single core whereas MacBooks use Intel dual core processors which are faster. However the screen size is greatly compromised as MacBooks only have 13.3" screens. [/QUOTE]
