[QUOTE="Gideon, post: 15961"] Hi everyone. I’m currently a PC user and I’m contemplating the switch. I need to invest in a laptop next year and I’ve begun researching my options: Dell Inspiron 8600 Desktop replacement or Apple iBook G4 (GHz). I’m in advertising sales so this will be purchased primarily as a tool to make my life easier…not more complicated. I need something that will enable me to do the following without too many headaches. Graphic ad design Word-processing Spreadsheet creation Email (at some point I’ll have a cable modem connection) Web browsing I also need access to Quicken or something like it and have some concerns about finding the software that I need without it costing as much as the laptop itself. I’m also concerned about the iBook’s security features…what kind of update system is available for OS X (Panther)? What are the firewalls like? Thanks for your time and consideration. :) [/QUOTE]
