[QUOTE="supenguin, post: 17843"] [b]thanks[/b] Thanks for the suggestions everyone. StarManta - I realize Macs are not budget computers. Thankfully I don't need anything high performance right now. I've got a friend who has a Titanium Powerbook and have used it enough to know I like it. I'm sick and tired of dealing with Windows. I'd be running just Linux, but I need something my wife can use too. I love the thought of a Unix-based OS that just works. Added bonus that the hardware seems to be higher quality than PC. I think I could've bought a 17" Powerbook with the money I've spent on PC parts for 2 PCs the last couple years. Time to stop the madness. I was definitely planning on maxing out RAM... I was also thinking of getting the Apple Care warranty. Do I have to get that at the same time as I buy my Mac? Another question while I'm at it. What's the difference between a 12" Powerbook and G4 ibook? [/QUOTE]
