[QUOTE="cabra, post: 688547, member: 58797"] Okay, I have been debating this in my head for months now, but it's time for some outside opinions! I am a current owner of an iBook G4 and it is still in great shape after almost 3 years. However, as more Intel specific stuff comes out, more memory is required to run stuff, and more storage is needed for my files, I have come to an breaking point (almost). Options: a) Buy a new Macbook in black. Throw in the free iPod touch too as I am a student. or b) Wait it out until the next refresh of Macbooks. I know it may not be for awhile and it is tough to predict but it will involve the new Intel chips and probably/hopefully a design refresh. I'm sure my current iBook will hold out until then. Downside: NO FREE IPOD TOUCH (not that I absolutely need it anyways). or c) Take it in a different direction. A nice new iMac with a nice big screen would look nice in my new apartment. Keep the old iBook around for times when portability is a must. Throw in the free iPod touch! Advice/input? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
