Message: <blockquote data-quote="southside" data-source="post: 15561">I was in the Apple store in Oahu yesterday evening and spoke with a couple of the sales reps about PowerBook versus Ibook... I told one of them that I could go with the Ibook and if I decided that DVD burning was something I needed to do later I could buy an external drive... He said yeah, that's true - HOWEVER, the built-in DVD that comes on the Powerbook line is better than having an external on the Ibook since you have to use vendor software with an external drive - versus using IDVD... He said that he has heard problems that folks have had with external DVD burners... so, wanted to ask the forum if you have heard similar... other than the DVD burner and 80 gig versus 60 gig drive, the sales reps agreed with what I have heard from others on the forum - that for my current needs, the ibook that I priced out will do the job just fine... do you agree that the built in DVD burners on Powerbooks are better/more compatible than external drives?thanks in advance,Southside PS also a rep told me that if I was going to order one through the Apple store on-line, that since I am in Hawaii, it would probably take a month or so to get it - so I need to order in January if I want one in February (my target date)...</blockquote>
