So, I’ve decided to get a new laptop. My current is a four year old dell (pIII 1.0GHz, 256MB pc100, 20GB hdd, 64MB GeForce 2 Go).
I plan on being away from my baby (AMD 64 4000+, 2GB, 2x GeForce 6800GT in SLI...definitely my gaming rig) for months at a time, I am in the Navy and that's how it is...
But I want more. I want stability, easy integration of peripherals (digital camera, miniDV camcorder, iPod-o-plenty, etc) along with great software to put them all together. I also want to rip all of my DVD's to some small format (I’m thinking DIVX) which would look great on a laptop (keeping the size ~1GB per movie). I'm thinking a 15" powerbook teamed up with a western digital 300GB external drive would fit the bill.
Here's what I’ve built (but I am still a little uneasy about clicking the "order" button):
15" Powerbook
1.67Ghz
1GB (not sure if should go 1 stick for future upgrade or 2 sticks)
128MB Ati card for "some" games
100BG Hdd
Superdrive
...also want AppleCare (hard lesson from my wife's Dell)
I quickly checked eBay and found something that seems too good to be true...
-clicky-
Do you think that is legit?
Well, other than my initial, "hello" I would just like to say this forum helped sway my decision and I am grateful for all your help!
