[QUOTE="htyped, post: 13598"] Everyone will have their idea on what to get. I just got a 14 inchG4 ibook and went through the same decision as you did. Depends on what you're using it for. Powerbook is nice but I'm sick of the 12 inch screens. I've had 3 12 inch thinkpads over the years and the screen is just a bit too small. I really enjoy the larger 14 inch screen. If i had the money I'd get the new 15 inch powerbook, but that's not the case. The 14 inch is limited to 640 mb of ram. That's not too bad depending on what you're using it for. If it's for gaming and intense stuff, better to go with desktop. For my uses the 1ghz g4 is pretty decent. I was about to get another PC, but after talking to a few people, got persuaded to switch and I really enjoy using the Apple. It's 100% true that you can't compare speed of the cpu anymore. They run off different architecture so there's no point to compare. The G4 1ghz does run as quick as a P4 2ghz PC though. It took a while to grasp that for me, but eventually got convinced. Lastly, the laptop looks gorgeous. There are a few PC that can compare, but most are just ugly. [/QUOTE]
