[QUOTE="m1k, post: 50268"] Definitely go for the iBook. It shouldn't have a problem running everyday apps like the internet or word processing or cubase or whatever. It'll still be good for games if you up the RAM to at least 256MB, then you shouldn't have a problem with running games at all. You'll definitely get more performance out of an iBook 800 than out of a 1.3GHz Wintel box. Why the iBook you ask? Well, the screen is much crisper, you can do everyday things on it just as well as you could on an eMac, and it's just really nice to carry it around with you, trust me. I carry my PowerBook around all the time, and although I don't go on trips or whatever all the time, it's just nice to carry my Mac with me when I'm going to a place where I'll sit for a long time. It's just nice to have the portability of a laptop, it really does make a difference. I say go for the iBook. It has almost the same gaming speeds as the eMac (up the RAM and you won't have a problem at all), it's excellent for everyday things, the screen is better, and it's just better to have a portable system if at all portable. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
