[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 41198, member: 3850"] No the iBook only comes with dvd-r as a built-to-order option on the 14" model, no dvd-r available for the 12" model. As far as i know the superdrive only supports dvd-r, not dvd-rw, but i might be wrong there! I'd say for durability both are quite alright, the iBook feels really sturdy and is quite tough despite the plastic exterior. When it comes down to it, it's a question of how much you're willing to pay! The powerbook is better performance and feature wise, but do you need them? If you're a casual prosumer user, i'd go with the ibook. If you have special performance requirements besides gaming, (such as video editing, hardware-intensive stuff) i'd get the powerbook. If you're not sure if you want games: get an ibook and then get a console later ;) [/QUOTE]
