[QUOTE="tangram, post: 177347, member: 14943"] Hi i recently signed up to these forums seeking information and opinions from MAC users. i plan on buying a powerbook 12inch for my first Mac very shortly. but after hearing the new news about the intel mac im not sure if i should wait till they come out with that 12 inch model or just go head and buy the current one. my friend was telling me that i should go ahead and buy the G4 powerbook cause there might be compability issue with the new processor and that a program (i think Rosetta) will emulate the new chip as a G4/G5 so that programs could run. i do agree with my friend because this new mac has not been tested by consumers yet over a period of time so anything could happend but the new chip seems very impressive and if the chip is really 4X times faster, thats a really big increase (75 % faster) and for the same price it seems so far. and i would not want to have old technology if they stop producing the G chips. so im abit in a delema Does any know if they will come out with a intel powerbook 12 inch? or should i go ahead and get the G4 powerbook when there is a special? Please respond Thanks [/QUOTE]
