[QUOTE="ldj, post: 49996"] Hey guys, Im an old pc desktop user and want to buy a notebook. After doing some research and deciding for what purposes im going to use my notebook i decided that i might aswell convert to the Mac system. Ive only worked on a mac a couple of times and didnt have a chance to completely check it out. I basically do graphic design and web-creation and now im going to start video editing. I heard that the mac is alot faster then the pc when running apps like Photoshop and Adobe After Effect and that Mac is a lot more stable then windows. My bro went from mac to pc and says its a lot better. I have maybe 1 software which i cant find for mac, its a small DHTML creation software which is about 1mb. How will that run on VPC? Other from that i can find all the software i need on mac. Another concern that i have is that i dont want to spend about 3'000$ on a top notch Powerbook if the new G5 powerbook is gonna come out soon. If its not gonna come for about 1 or 1.5 years then its fine, i might go for the g4 powerbook. Im also hesitating between the 15" and the 17" inch. If i get the powerbook should i take 512MB of ram or 1024? I dont know how the ram is on mac. And for the gpu, should i take 64mb of ram or 128? Your advice and help would be gladly apreciated, than you. [/QUOTE]
