[QUOTE="sukhjeet, post: 7775"] I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what I want. I like the size of the 15", which I can get for $2138 (w/superdrive & APP), but it's technology is too outdated (no DDR SDRAM, ATA66, ...). I like the 12" w/super drive, which I can get for $1839 with APP, but that's a little too small and is not as powerful as I'd like. I can also get the 17" w/superdrive for $2999. I figure the 17" is my best bet, b/c it is a little large, but at least it has the technology I want (and it's not that big for a 17"). Is there any word out on Apple releasing a new 15"? In comes my next problem... the G5. I can get the dual 2 ghz box for 2700. To think that I'm not going to pay too much more for the G5 than the 17" w/superdrive (after display, bluetooth, speakers, and airport extreme card), makes me wonder what I should do. The big difference is the processor, Serial ATA w/7200 RPM 160 GB HD, and USB 2.0. I don't really care about the graphics. What do you guys think? I could use any advice right now. I'm leaning towards the laptop, even though I know I'll always wonder "what if I got the G5." A computer that's portable will be easier because I'll be at college. [/QUOTE]
