[QUOTE="trenollet, post: 36307"] I have to agree with Osiris, Do the research and convince yourself. I borrowed a powerbook from a buddy to use FinalCut and he had to hunt me down to get it back. So my advice is to check out an Apple store or retailer and check out a PB or iBook. You'll like it... I'm sure. I have a 15" PB 1.33 and I think the fan turned on once when I opened the Applications folder, selected everything and pressed option+O. That was when I first got it and hadn't set anything up so Garage Band, iTunes, and etc were all looking for my user info and wanted to search for music etc,etc,.. If you're still leary after the Apple store visit, do what I did, buy an iBook off ebay for $500-600 and see if you like it. If you like it, sell it on ebay and go buy a new PB. Or you could keep the ebay unit for kicking around the house..... If you don't like it, put the mac back on ebay and get your money back. No harm, no foul. Good luck, Tim [/QUOTE]
