[QUOTE="stevescivic, post: 97007, member: 10244"] I am a devoted pc user but recently I have been checking out laptops and I was thinking of trying out a mac ibook or possibly even a mac powerbook. I have seen the differences between the two but at the end of they day does the ibook really outperform the ibook by a longshot? I recall reading somewhere that the powerbook's performance wasn't all that much better than a comparable ibook. Also would it better to buy a 12" ibook or a 14" ibook? The price difference in canada I think is around 300 bucks difference and I think the only thing that you get is a bigger screen and a slightly faster processor. Perhaps a entry level 12" powerbook is a better option? I am also concerned about file interchangability with my ipod as well as my pc files that are stored on a usb flash drive. In the end how compatible are mac files to pc and vice versa? I am trying to justify buying a mac but at the same time I don't want to dump $2000 on a laptop that is going to be a pain to work with. Thanks [/QUOTE]
